Which way do I turn? That is the question I was faced with yesterday morning as I was photographing sunrise north of Denver, Colorado.
Certainly, the main show was to the east toward the rising sun with a stunning reflection on a pond. However, to the west, the cloud formations were jaw-dropping when colored in pastels and also begged for attention. I found myself running from the shoreline of one pond to another and back and forth doing my best not to miss any of the show.
A pretty danged good way to start the day to say the least!
