Morning in Blue & Gold
Finally made it out this morning for sunrise – another of those hectic weeks where I didn’t get a camera in my hands for far too long and it left me feeling blah. In a strange approximation to guilt, I got up even earlier this morning to atone, heading out to Ford’s before the sun [...]

The following shots were taken Saturday evening and Sunday morning. [...]
