Predawn Twilight

Predawn light at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in 2011

“The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.”

Wallace Stevens

Sun has just set. Weather app says snow will begin after midnight and into tomorrow with 2-6 inches. Road conditions will not be good for commuters tomorrow morning or evening. This image was taken 11 eleven years ago at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. I enjoyed going to this area for morning quiet time and photographs. Because of the reflection on those calm waters I was gifted with two views of this beautiful world that particular morning.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    This is a beautiful, timeless image, Monte. If I remember right, a number of us had Nikon D300s, and something seemed a little special about the photos that particular camera, or that sensor, made. I remember still thinking that when I later upgraded to the D700 full frame. Or maybe it was just the time. Time does fly by.

      Yes, the Nikon D300 and a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens. I really loved those cameras. I had two. Professionals always have two cameras.😂 I liked how they fit my hands, a true appendage for me.
      No snow yet but they say it’s’ coming and it looks like it.

    It’s 29 degrees here this morning but no precipitation. This is a stunning image showing the beauty of nature.

    Gorgeous color, and as Earl said, a timeless image. I’d love to see that printed on metal!

    Been away for a few days with a timed internet connection. Back now and catching up. 😉
