Foggy Sods in Morning |
 We got up at 4:00 am on Sunday morning. Kara looked at me incredulously. "How did I get talked into getting up at this hour?" We ate some breakfast and headed out. At 5:15 am, we arrived at the top of Forest Road 80, ready to set out on our hike. As Kara reluctantly clicked on her headlamp. "Why are we hiking out in the pitch dark of morning?" 5:45 am, we start hiking up the steep rocky trail. It is still pitch dark down in the woods. 6:15 am, as we break out onto the ridge, a pinky-orange glow starts to silhoutte the trees on the horizon. 6:45 am, the sun breaks above the horizon in a simple and rapturous sunrise. 6:53 am, the elements of this panoramic were captured. 5:01 pm on Monday, the crop above is made from the panoramic pieces--the rapturous sunrise continues... . Ten minutes later, the light changed to a more golden hue. I shot the last of the panos for that morning. The photo below is composed of one row of ten images. Actually, the entire image had one row of fifteen images, but I cropped it back a bit. When we left the car it was 52 degrees fahrenheit. When we returned at 11:30 am, it was 78 degrees.

Hey Trailpixie - What an amazing photo. Makes you want to get up before sunrise every day. We also like the new site design and thanks for the linky to our photo website. Hope to catch up in person soon; its been a busy summer of explorations.
Best, Mark and Clare
