This morning’s sunrise left me speechless.

It’s graduation day at Stevens, so there is only one place I’d be this morning. I remember my own college graduation as a time of freedom and possibility.
To the Stevens graduates: This is your sunrise. The dawn of a new phase in your lives. Don’t be afraid to think differently, to try new things, to put yourself out there. Think about what you can do to set yourself apart. Think about what you can give to the world that no one else can. There’s a whole world out there waiting for you. Best of luck to you all.

Sailboats on a misty morning. There’s something about fog that is quiet and tranquil. And there’s something about sailboats that is calm and peaceful. Therefore, I felt in some ways the two would go nicely together, and that combination is what I tried to capture out by the water this morning.

I get reminded time and time again that sometimes you have to just let things happen.
When I first arrived up at the waterfront, the scene just wasn’t quite right. The cloud formations were in awkward places, and there wasn’t much color in the sky. I forced a couple of shots and was underwhelmed.
Slowly but surely, as I continued to walk along the waterfront, things started to develop. The clouds moved into better positions, and breaks in the clouds let through blotches of colored light. The haze in the city was perfect. And the ferry arrived, right on cue.

Today was the strangest morning I’ve experienced in a while.
There was a dense fog….so dense that the city skyline was nowhere in sight. The scene started out completely blue, and I was taking some photos of this pier, which I thought came out pretty good.
I was about to head back inside when I noticed a faint yet slowly intensifying spot of light in the sky where there appeared to be a small break in the clouds, which looked kind of eerie through the fog. I decided to stick around to see what would happen. The break in the clouds started to widen. And all of a sudden, the edges of those clouds started to glow pink through misty haze, and the whole atmosphere around me turned pink. I don’t think I’ve ever seen pink fog before, but here it is.
