From our long-weekend trip over to northwest Minnesota. We did Thursday morning's sunrise at the headwaters of the Mississippi River in Itasca State Park. It was a cold morning, 27 degrees when we arrived at the headwaters. Fog hovered over Lake Itasca in the distance. I was hoping for some clouds in this shot, but in the end I liked that there weren't any. I think I prefer the simplicity of this cloudless image. It does a better job at conveying the chill of the morning.
From the sign at the headwaters:
"Here 1,475 feet above the ocean the mighty Mississippi begins to flow on its winding way 2,552 miles to the Gulf of Mexico"
