Serendipity

This was the first sunrise of the trip, and it was one of the best.... and I almost didn't wake up for this one! For some reason the sky looked clear when I woke up, and I considered sleeping in, but my friend Bill McIntosh was with me, and his energy and enthusiasm is very contagious, so I forced myself awake and we drove out here.

 

I don't know what happened, but somehow the clouds must have rolled in as we were driving, because the light was fantastic, and lasted for at least 30-40 minutes. I would have really been upset if I had missed this one!

 

We found this location almost by chance the night before, while scouting for ideas of where to do the sunrise. I probably have at least a dozen more shots from this area that I can post, some with amazing color, and some like this with a darker mood.

 

This is my second year of taking photos in the Southwest during monsoon season, and each time has been an incredible experience, I am sure this is an annual tradition now.
