Sunburst

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!

This image reminds me that the earth did not happen by chance. It was created by choise. Praise Jesus for moments like these. (you have captured this beautifully)

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.

Millie:

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I actually took this photo on the morning of my own mothers funeral and dedicated it to her memory.

That’s an amazing photo, and an amazing story. The fact that it was taken on the day of your mothers’ funeral makes it all the more powerful. Thanks for sharing it.
