Finally...a morning that isn't single digits with sub zero wind chills. My day started early Sunday at 600am. I'm on my way to Lake Clarke in Wrightsville, PA to catch the sunrise. As a nature and landscape photographer my shooting is usually confined to an hour before and after sunrise and sunset. It is also governed by the weather and the first thing I do before heading out is check the weather on my phone. Ok, actually an expresso is the first thing, then the weather. The skies are just starting to brighten and are an inky deep blue. I see the cloud cover isn't too dense and I'm hoping for a dramatic sunrise.

I've been to this location before and have a place in mind that I want to setup. Its cold, but bearable. Deep snow covers the ground, and the lake, which is actually the result of the Safe Harbour Dam along the Susquehanna River, is also iced over with some channels of open water. It's about 45 minutes before sunrise and I'm set a ready to go. I stay and shoot for close to two hours watching the light change as the sunrises.
