I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything quite like what I witnessed this morning.
Sunday mornings are usually the most difficult to get up early. It was completely overcast when I woke up, and I almost opted to take today’s sunrise photo from my window rather than go outside for what looked like it would be a mediocre sunrise. But after a few minutes I saw a thin band of pink light glowing near the horizon, so I decided to head out and make the most of it.
You could imagine my amazement upon stepping outside just moments later to see the entire sky and river exploding with color. I literally ran at full speed from my doorstep down to the waterfront. A few people gave me funny looks, as if maybe they thought I had just stolen all this camera equipment and was trying to make a getaway. A police car drove past a few minutes later.
But it was all worth it. I had to act quickly because moments like this don’t stick around for long. I captured a few photos from a couple of different spots, and this one was my favorite because I feel it most accurately depicts what the scene actually looked like. I hope you like it.
