Chasing the Sunrise


 Morning Walk

There is something so peaceful and inspiring about getting up early and watching the earth come alive from the night's slumber.  I guess in a way it has become an obsession because I never tire of watching the sun come over the Gillis Mountains on the east side of Walker Lake. 

When there are interesting clouds, I grab my camera and tripod to rush out with coffee in hand for an early morning walk.  If I time it just right, sometimes I catch the transition just as dawn rolls back the curtain of night.  It is a wonderful feeling, almost like witnessing the earth's creation.




As dawn begins to light the eastern sky, the stars are still visible over the silhouetted tall elm trees.


 


Silence fills the earth as the early rays of sun begin to warm the still lake; the first inland gull begins its morning quest.




The sun ascends; a star-studded sky is now an artist's pallet of color.


A lone owl watches and waits for an early morning snack.



Standing quietly on the bank's edge, the camera catches a falcon flying overhead.




Mr. Robin warms overhead as the sunlight breaks through a dense layer of cloud.




A flock of inland gulls scurry with wings warmed by the morning sun.




A contrail appears to shoot from the sunlight blushed moon as it descends, giving way to the start of a new day.

  





What an exciting and interesting photo-adventure this day has been.  I love it when I am drawn to an area and not knowing what to expect I get treated to new experiences.

Photography places me in the moment where I can share that moment in time. It becomes a life story as represented by my interaction with the scene. The happiness and beauty or the sorrow and strife; how I focus leaves a lasting impression that might touch the viewer on a spiritual level.
