CATCHING THE SUNRISE FROM THE PRAIRIE LANDSCAPE

The forecast this July morning was to be mostly clear with a few clouds. I thought it would be another beautiful and colorful sunrise so, I left the house wanting to photograph the beautiful wildflowers of the Park with a colorful sunrise. I knew where in the park that had an abundance of wildflowers, which was the west side and a beautiful sunrise to photograph. I reached the trailhead soon after leaving the house with camera gear in hand and it wasn't long before I started seeing the wildflowers that were in pristine condition and in the distance, box elder trees that line the banks of Eakin Creek West. The colors of the sunrise started to appear filling the sky. As I moved along the trail, the sun was now breaking the horizon above the box elder trees, I set up my tripod, camera, composed this scene along with the sunrise in frame and began photographing. This had been a beautiful summer sunrise landscape scene to photograph on this July morning at Wildflower Park. (504-28)
