Enlightening

A low hanging cloud bank was making a futile attempt to suppress the sun rising over Lake Michigan.  The foreground is ice and snow covering the harbor.  The black line at the edge of the ice is a flock of Canada geese waiting for the warmth of the morning sun.  And, of course, the tall structure is the pier light at Algoma, WI.

I prefer the kind of sunrises where a majority of the sky turns beautiful shades of red, orange and gold.  Unfortunately, I just haven’t been offered much on the days I could be out shooting. Most of them have been cold, dull, dreary days.  This time of year, the days are so short, I have to leave for work before the sun rises and don’t return home until after the sun sets. My best opportunities are the weekends and weekends haven’t been cooperating lately.  (I know…excuses, excuses, excuses.)
