Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose
From out night’s gray and cloudy sheath;
Softly and still it grows and grows,
Petal by petal, leaf by leaf...
~Susan Coolidge, "The Morning Comes Before The Sun"
Magnificent sky this morning! A cluster of lenticular clouds over the mountains just before sunrise illuminated by the early light. I love to get up early and embrace the wonders of dawn.
To smooth out the water a little on a breezy dawn I put together my Kase 6 stopper ND filter and 1.2. Grad ND filter to gain a few more seconds of exposure. It worked fairly well and intensified the dawn colours quite well too.
Numerous waterfowl, mainly geese, are gathered at dawn on Heather Farm Pond in Walnut Creek, California.

New dawn - A spectacular day dawns at Ribblehead Viaduct with a sky bursting
with colour.
The Settle and Carlisle railway line is presently being used by Avanti West Coast a a diversionary route as the West Coast Main Line is shut (as is the M6) with the replacement of the Clifton bridge just outside Penrith.
I have a personal connection with the Ribblehead Viaduct and the Settle and Carlisle line. I joined the public campaign back in the mid 1980s to halt the proposed closure of the line with the cost of repairs to the Ribblehead Viaduct having been sighted as a main contributing factor to the economics for the closure of the line.
Not only being one of the formal 9000 or so objectors (+1 dog!) to the closure, I also wrote to my MP at that time (Anthony Beaumont-Dark), the Transport Minister (Michael Portfolio) and the Prime Minister (Margaret Thatcher), citing the importance of the line as a key diversionary route for the West Coast Main Line.
I received a personal reply from all three and a commitment from them to take my concerns and points forward. The line was eventually saved and the rest is history as they say.
I do feel some tiny vindication today with Avanti running their latest Evro class trains over the viaduct some 40 years later :-)

Dawn was brilliant and bracing at Deep Lake on the White River Plateau in western Colorado. Laminar flow of chilly air coaxed strands of mist from the relatively warm water.
A beaver lodge is to the right, and even further to the right Gary Clendening was photographing the same display.
dawn over the river Thames in Kent, I went for the softly-softly touch for me it goes with the subject!

An impressionistic painterly reinterpretation of an original iPhone photo taken in a wetland on a misty foggy morning. The monochrome image was edited with iColorama and DistressedFX on an iPad Pro.

In the midst of three weeks of rain I put this on FB and stared at it forever thinking I could be here in three or four hours........ Steamboat Rock State Park, Washington State. As always, blow it up and soak it all in, I am! :-)
Here's one from the archive. It's a pre-dawn moment at Nickerson beach. A few Boston lights can be discerned in the background. Probably one of my favorite go to places for dawn that's near Boston.
Have a great weekend everyone!
To get up before the end of a short night to admire the world at dawn, a challenge for a hobby-photographer.
Dawn from Rotherhithe, looking towards Canary Wharf from the Hilton hotel.
I'm planning to make a photo video in the next couple of months, and upload it to Youtube, if you want to watch it, then subscribe to Sights and Scenes. Would be great to see some of you over on Youtube too.
A mono conversion of a shot I captured at Hollicombe Beach, Paington in 2020. I got to the beach around 06:00 but it was raining and overcast so I was about to give up but then after about 10 mins the rain stopped and the clouds pulled away and I was left with some lovely dawn light.
Thank you for looking and if you wish to follow me on Instagram and Facebook as well as on here the links are below.
There is no sight in the world that is not more beautiful at dawn. Dawn is the promise of a new day, it is hope and the conception of all possibilities.
Lower Bug River Valley.
This elevator has been standing for a long time and just got repainted by it’s owner. I’m hoping they add it’s name.
It was worth getting up early to watch the rain race across Lake Michigan.
This is dedicated to all of you who capture these type of images so well and inspire the rest of us.
Photographed at dawn on Friday, 19th September, 2025.
I somehow got out of bed at 4.30am and drove down the M2 to North Sydney where I took some photos looking across the harbour from the Blues Point Reserve as the dawn enveloped the city. BUT there was NO coffee anywhere. Shocking. So this is unlikely to be repeated, lol.
But anyway I noticed this boat speeding west under the harbour bridge and used my Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens to track its progress.
