I was pretty mad for being woken at 6:30 am by barking dogs until I looked out the window and saw this! I stumbled out of bed and ran outside in my pajamas to get this capture.
Equipment: Canon Mark II 1d N w/ f4 17-40mm

    Fantastic! It’s not often we see sunrises to surpass sunsets but this one does. I especially like the way you have put the sun behind the tree, letting the rays filter through. It creates a halo-like effect that is awesome. Great job!

    What an inspiring image, my husband of 50 years just passed away and this was a healing view for me as I contemplated what the life of the spirit must be like. Thank you for your gift of this earth image.
