Morning Light…

Desert Southwest, National Parks, Utah, Zion

The light from a rising sun peeked through the random cloud formations at Zion National Park yesterday morning. The filtered light helped to produce a soft but beautiful landscape.

Annual Winter Visit To Bryce

I actually got up at 4:45am to make the 2 hour drive to Bryce Canyon National Park in time for sunrise. (Not a morning person).  A fresh blanket of snow was a motivation for me.

Zion Sunrise

An early morning thunderstorm woke me up this morning at 6am so I went out to shoot a glorious sunrise at Zion National Park, Utah. The sun’s rays were filtered by  passing clouds and produced some dramatic light.

Sunrise On the Pacific

California, Ocean, Pacific Ocean

Normally we photograph the setting sun, not rising sun on the Pacific Ocean. But, I woke up around 5am and decided to check it out. In the winter, the sun actually rises more from the Southeast, not East. So I was able to get a vantage point where the color from the sun would be in the frame along with the crashing waves on the beach. With just enough clouds to give the images some depth, it was a glorious sunrise even though I got a soaking from the waves. These images plus more are available for purchase as prints or a downloadable, printable files @ Dawn2Dawn Photography’s Website
