First Rays

"Nature unfolds her treasure at the first ray of sunrise."

Sunrise over Flood Bay on Lake Superior in Two Harbors, Minnesota.

 

Photo taken from the Flood Bay Wayside along Minn Hwy 61 (formerly US 61) after a night of driving. I was trying to get to a campground, but I had to stop and sleep. I got a couple of hours of sleep and woke up just as a little red started showing on the horizon. I put a camera on my tripod, and took pictures until my hands were numb (a November morning on Lake Superior is a bit nippy, though with almost no wind, this one wasn't bad).

 

Unfortunately, the camera couldn't record exactly what I saw that morning, but fortunately it was able to come close on a few of the hundreds of pics that I took.
