Qingkou Valley water-filled rice terraces, early morning, Yunnan, China. This shot may not be to everyone's taste. Although it looks like a monochrome, it is actually a colour shot, presented as seen (a small bit of green can be seen mid frame). I liked the look, seen through the bare trees, almost like a Chinese pen and ink drawing. If you look carefully you can see a tiny reflected figure walking along one of the dykes mid right.

Sunrise at the beach with colourful high cloud filled sky and flat surf at Umina Point, Umina Beach on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.
I spotted this heron standing on a driftwood log yesterday morning, before the sun rose at the Cowichan Bay estuary. I carefully got into position, then sat and waited for the sun to break over the mountain, hoping it would light the heron and his log but leave the background in shade. I sat and watched for about half an hour, and was rewarded with this image.I love it when subjects and light cooperate!
First light of day over Lake Michigan as seen from the shore of Milwaukee Bay, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Minimal reprocessing of a boat under repair in the Ganges River in Varanasi India. The city and clutter has been removed to isolate the boat against a foggy background. 35mm 1/25@f8, ISO3200
With the sun not yet over the horizon, the first light is still amazingly bright. This was the second of two sunrise shoots during our visit to Point Pelee a couple of days ago - an unusual occurrence for me due to my inherently lazy nature. A cup of coffee nearly strong enough to dissolve a spoon, and my under estimation of how hot it was, helped in waking me up.
On the previous morning, we were greeted with a heavy fog that obscured the sun altogether and didn't clear until much later.
This time, a low lying mist added some interest with an otherwise clear sky. Fortunately, I'm not the only lazy photographer as on both occasions, we had this usually popular location to ourselves.

A morning mist with a calm wind during the first light of dawn has a special gentleness on the soul. This was the case here at Lake Wassookeag during October in the Central Maine Highlands. (image M1A5814) Please also visit: acadiamagic.com.

Early morning at Newark castle, St Monans on the fife coast... a tough shot to do as the best of dawn colour was behind me, and the temptation to swing round 180 degrees was very high... Decent swell in the sea, almost came a cropper by getting a little too close to the action, as the shot in the comments shows.

(Appointment at 3.30 and departure to Syracuse for a sunrise photowalk. Waking up early is always very heavy, but the colors of dawn repay the effort).

This early morning is foggy. I think the sun is supposed to be on the horizon about now, wherever the horizon is. Although it's still, I bet the fishing will be great.

Wildfire smoke colors the morning light on domes above the Tuolumne River, Yosemite National Park.
Back in 2014 a group of us spent a week photographing in the Yosemite backcountry. We packed in to our first locations, spent a few days there, then moved along and ended up near the location of this photograph in the canyon of the Tuolumne River. While many have an impression of the Tuolumne formed by its leisurely passage through the Tuolumne Meadows area, other sections present a very different view.
Our stop here coincided with a very destructive wildfire in Little Yosemite Valley, and on the afternoon of our arrival the smoke had block the sun as ash floated down from the sky. Later much of the smoke blew in other directions, yet there was still a general smokiness in the atmosphere. That slightly brown haze colored the light in this early morning view of the canyon of the Tuolumne River.

Desert may seem lifeless, but in fact many species have evolved special ways to survive in the hash environments. Desert plants may have to go without fresh water for years at a time. Some plants have adapted to the arid climate by growing long roots that water from deep underground. Other plants, such as cacti, have special means of storing and conserving water. Also have spines instead of leaves. These minimise surface are and helps reduce moisture loss transpiration during the day. The spines also protect the cacti from being eaten by animals. They also have a waxy coating on stems to help reduce water loss.
Other ways plants tolerate the dry conditions, short life cycles - a plant or seed could remain dormant until the rains come.

Along the shoreline in Glacier National Park last week...a pano crop from a larger image.
Processed with LR and PS CC. I could have used the dehaze filter but I thought the smoke from the wildfires in the area added another element to the scene.
Sunrise, Obsidian Butte at the Salton Sea. I could do a whole photo essay just on these trees alone.

When the water is warm and the nights are cold, the most amazing things happen as the sun comes up. These two knew it was coming - they were out on the water at first light - with camera at the ready.

The Dell, The Diamond, and The Causeway are the principal open public spaces within the garden village of Port Sunlight, laid out in the late C19 and early C20 largely to the overall plans of William Hesketh Lever, with formal open spaces based on a 1910 competition design by Ernest Prestwich.
