August Dawn, Big Susie Island



As a photographer I find myself wishing for some nice clouds whenever sunrise or sunset rolls around... but sometimes its nice when there aren't any clouds. There is a certain beauty to a sky without clouds, an uncluttered beauty. In such situations my favorite images are almost always made either well before the sun comes up or well after it goes down. With the lack of clouds the sky most often takes on a beautiful blue glow during the moments of dawn and dusk. In this image the rocks in the foreground, wet from the splashing of waves from Lake Superior, reflect that beautiful blue glow of the sky. This image was made almost 45 minutes before the sun broke the horizon.
