Sunrises are difficult to do this time of year, especially for someone who is generally not a morning person! I had to wake at 4:00 AM in order to be on location in time to make this photograph yesterday morning. It looked pretty cloudy when I left the house, but I was hopeful because you just never know what will happen! Sure enough, just as the sun was rising a break developed in the clouds on the horizon right where the sun would be coming up. Most of the sky remained covered in clouds except for that break on the eastern horizon.
As the sun began to rise, light poured through that break in the clouds and lit up the bottoms of the clouds that remained. And, as often happens in the summer, that beautiful light lasted for quite a long time. When I saw the images on the back of the camera I was glad I made the effort to get out so early. It's only a few more days until the longest daylight of the year, then the days will be getting shorter again and we won't have to get up quite so early (or stay out quite so late) in order to catch the best light of the day. For now, though, the beauty of these long, early summer days is unparalleled!
