Sunrise at Natural Bridges

It was early.  Earlier than I am used to getting up on a Sunday morning, 4:30 am.  Yikes!  I had to be ready to leave the house not later than 5:30 am.  A friend met me at 5:15, we transferred equipment from one vehicle to another and off we went.  First stop, Natural Bridges State Park for sunrise.

The light was really flat and took a few minutes to clear the hills behind us, but once it did, it was the prettiest palette of pastels you ever saw.  This particular image is a 2 second exposure.  Not the longest of exposures for the morning, but I really like the color in the sky and the wave action against the rock.
