The Connecticut sunrise is different from that of other states. There is something surreal about watching the sun rise over the historic lands and witnessing the same sights settlers fell in love with all those years ago. Whether it’s coming up over the ocean, mountains, or forest, a Connecticut sunrise is not to be missed. And definitely not to be taken for granted. If you haven’t woken up to see one in a while then maybe these photos (and a really big cup of coffee) will get you back out there!
