This was taken as the sun rose over Kodachrome State Park in Utah. I hadn't really thought about how long it would take the sun to rise over the surrounding cliffs, so I had about an hour to sit on my little ledge and watch the light slowly wash over the valley, and wait for it to get to me.

I would not mind waiting two hours for such a fantastic photo ;-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! Perfect timing. So glad you were rewarded with the balloon.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic photo, very much worth the wait. If I'm awake, I love that hour before sunrise. The world is so still, and the light changes are awesome.
ReplyDeleteYay, your hour of waiting paid off and you got the balloon, but it's exactly the reason why I'm not a photographer -I'm too impatient!
