Sunrise on a River

Sunrise on the North Landing River

It’s not always the sunrise. The sun rises every single day and some days are more dramatic than others, while other days are more of a flat, uninspired gray. Of course, most of us are happily entertained when the morning sky is afire with the magical colors of daybreak. But, often, it’s more about where you are experiencing the sunrise than the event itself. 

Sunrise on the beach is nice, but I prefer for there to be ‘something’ in the foreground. A surfer, maybe, studying the waves or a couple walking slowly along the edge of the water. My favorite location to watch the start of the day, however, is on the North Landing River. The bald cypress trees stand like sentinels along the shore and marsh grasses line the river, bending gently in the morning breeze, filling the air with a soft rustling. Frogs call from their secret places and wood ducks descend from the trees. A splash somewhere out of sight. The air smells of the earth and the sky is colored by heaven.
