Photography->Sunset/Rise
That morning I arose early. The pre-dawn air was crisp, and my sullen car coughed petulantly to life. I had a goal. Some 40 miles away at the end of a levee that bisected the swamp a train track crossed the highway, and allowed me to walk some five miles out into the tidal marshes to a spot where I had a clear view to the east. A teetering steel railway signal tower offered the chance to get 12 feet or so in the air, and I climbed up to the top where a platform gave a fine view above the marsh grass towards the approaching sunrise. Snapping open my tripod I set up and waited. Just as the freezing dawn broke I was rewarded with this view, and my Olympus eVolt did the rest of the work. I think it was worthwhile.

Delightful narrative, Regmar and a spellbinding image to accompany it. Those mossy trees remind me of the threadbare sails of some abandoned and ghostly sailing ship, meandering towards a molten sky.
I'm so glad you got up early to capture this. Superb!

I concur; definitely worthwhile. I might suggest editing that black spot out of the photo, the one sitting about 1:00 to the sun. But that's minor. Wish I could get scene like that, or be able to drag my butt out of bed to get them. ;)

Very well done and an amazingly beautiful image. Your effort was well worth it to get this shot. Thanks for lighting up my day.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Not crazy about the image size, but your photo is Killer.

This is one of the MOST beautiful photos I have ever seen on caedes!! OF course it takes me back to when I lived in the Bayou country. REgmar...you outdid yourself, and I can certainly see why you got up so early and traveled so far and even climbed up to get this shot...it was definitely worth it!! I am in awe of this shot, the Spanish moss is gorgeous..against that wonderful blazing sunrise!! I gasped when I saw this photo!!! I caN't take my eyes off it either.It would make a magnificent canvas painting. Agree? thank you so very much for a most wonderful photo. It's going right onto my desktop...Verena
