Early morning feeling

March 28, 2019 by Mike Powell

I love the feeling of the early morning, when the sun is just beginning to rise. Some mornings begin with fog hanging over the fields, giving the scene an eerie feeling. On other mornings, the sun adds color to the sky and produces beautiful reflected light in the clouds. I never know what the sunrise will bring when I set out in the dark, but I love to start the way watching darkness give way to light.

I captured these images on separate mornings during this past week at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

There really is a magic about first light and it’s a joy to be able to share it.

  Thanks, Gary. The challenge for me is to find place to enjoy those first rays of sunshine. The wildlife refuge where I like to shoot has electric gates that open at 7:00 a.m. and the problem for me is that the sun is now rising earlier than that.
