Sounds beautiful! I'd love to see that someday. I've never seen 'sunrise' that way, but I can't be sure. Got my vote! :-) - chaparrito, Jan 11, 2010

¡Tantos usos del verbo "subir"! Puedes subir al coche y subir la radio para subir la montaña. Por radio discuten como suben la gasolina, y que la genta se suben por las paredes. Pero no puedes "subir" el animo a cualquier -- por éste necesitas "levantar".

So many ways to use "subir". You can get in the car, turn up the radio, and go up the mountain. On the radio, they´re talking about gas prices rising, and people are hopping mad. But you can´t "subir" someone´s spirits -- for that you need "levantar".
