Some photos start before the sun even rises. I drove for more than an hour, hoping to get to a vantage point that would create a striking image. I wasn't certain of even where I was going, except that I studied the map thoroughly and had picked several possible locations. I had not considered that there would be fog. But there it was, as the sun lit up the sky even before its appearance over the horizon. It looked like the prairie was flooded with fog, or is that the river? I stopped and took several photos here and pushed on to where I thought it would be better photos.

Looking back, I realize now that it was a magical morning. The next location did produce some good images, but this one wasn't that bad. I even think there may be two photos here that overlap. One is the top 2/3 with the other being the bottom 2/3. Totally different pictures. I like all three. One of my friends claims that I enjoy considering all of the options. It often seems to me that there could be more possibilities. I think it makes me a fun guy. When you begin in the dark, you could find light here and there and around the next corner.
