This morning, after I had dropped off Kaefer at school (she has zero period and starts at 7:00 am), I went out into the country and to the laguna. A friend of mine who passes the laguna every morning on her way to work had posted daily pre-sunrise pictures of this spot on Facebook which have been an inspiration for me. Finally I made my way there as well, and absolutely loved what I saw.
I arrived only minutes before the sun crept over the hills and spilled his beautiful light over the water of the laguna. I love the silhouettes of the bare winter trees, it is so calm and peaceful.
The geese loved the rising sun as well. Two flocks took flight only a few minutes apart from each other. I felt happy to be there just in that moment.
There they fly into the new day, spent in the vastness of the laguna, while I still marvelled at the beauty of this place and its lone trees.
After I had been there for quite a while, happily chasing the morning light with my camera, I noticed the barbed wire in the gate I was standing at (I hadn't had my coffee yet, so my slowness is somehow understandable). When I got down to my knees (oh, that hurt in the cold - it was around 29F) I could see the sun right below this detail of the barbed wire, and of course I couldn't resist to take a few more photos.
It was an excellent though cold start to a beautiful, sunny and clear day.
BEAUTIFUL SHOTS! I love the geese, and the reflections. Just awesome!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful and so peaceful looking.
ReplyDeleteThese are very inspiring! And I am totally crazy about your poppy photos from a few days ago. They make me crave spring.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful spot, and a gorgeous series of photos. The color and variety you captured of a sunrise without a cloud in the sky are just amazing.
ReplyDeleteohhhh... love these! my absolute favorite is the last picture (barbed wire). Oh, and the birds flying.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I heard some Canada geese flying over the house this morning and so grabbed a camera and ran out into...fog...
ReplyDeleteI guess you will be taking Kaefer to school more often now??!! This would take my breath away, Carola.
