Hoping and waiting to catch the light and clouds just right. On this day, I left my home and saw clouds in the sky – only to arrive at this location to see the skies had completely cleared. I got my camera & tripod setup then waited for the morning glow at Long Pine Key in the Everglades National Park. I took several long exposures and even a few HDR’s as the light brightened on the horizon. Nature’s beauty appears in the moments between light and dark. (3/8/2014)

I took many photos of this morning, each image has it’s own impression to me. The sun had just risen past the clouds between the palm trees and my lens created the slight star effect. In the distance, you can see the cranes of the Port of Miami and the condos of Key Biscayne.
