It was a quiet December morning when I took this photo. The winds were blowing in from the north and the sun just started to rise. The warm glow of the sun cast its color across the sky and the buildings facing east. Amazingly there were only a few souls out and about enjoying the spectacle of the new day.

Matheson Hammock – the Blue Hour
I get up early to travel to my locations before the sun rises in the east, because the time before dawn is so special. The bright colors of the sky that are created by the slowly rising sun are spectacular and are never the same. There are elements of the environment that can affect what colors we see, like clouds, dust, salt air and even pollution, these factors can create unique mixtures like an artist’s painting easel to to create the most beautiful colors of each dawning day.
