Sunrise on Southern Ridge
Heatherwood
As the sun rises over the eastern hills, these lenticular clouds lit up like they were on fire. A glorious fall day was on its way.
I saw the sun rising to the east as these clouds were moving in from the west. I quickly grabbed my camera with a long telephoto then stood and waited until the clouds moved over the trees on the southern hill crest. A few seconds later the clouds broke up and the sun rose above the western hills. The moment was gone.
It pays to have a camera with the right lens ready when the moment arises. I typically have 3 cameras with different lenses ready most of the time.
