As a photographer, you will appreciate that this terminology seems to be a matter of perspective. See this video. It's the astronauts moving, I believe, that gives 'rise' to the earth when it appears on the horizon.
This reminds me of your comment about Lagos. The Portuguese 'discovered' something that had been there all the time. New to them. They were actually invaders.
History (my field) and photography are really good reminders that when we look at anything, perspective matters :)
Thanks so much for your comment. I love blogging, and I love your contest. Playing with your images has contributed to my perspective.

Exactly, here it's the observer who is rising :)
Glad to hear that you keep enjoying the LMAC.
