Liftoff (Explored)

Undecided on where to go this morning for the sunrise service, we finally settled on Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. We got to this spot where I often go in hope of catching geese, eagles or heron silhouette shots as the sun comes up behind them. I misjudged exactly where the sun would break the horizon, only to quickly discover that it was breaking behind the trees of an island quite a ways out. I started the truck to get repositioned but the more I watched the sun rise through the trees, the more amazing it got. So we stayed put and this is the result. I believe my comment to my wife at this particular point was "holy s*^t".
