Yes, it is another Earth Day today – and what a better start to Earth Day than to be up at 4:45 am to be on location prior to start of civil twilight. And what a morning it was! This particular spot near a lake in Milford, Michigan at Kensington Metropark was just drenched in a rolling fog. WIth some light cloud cover on the horizon, the scene had a lot of potential for some spectacular colors as the sun approached the horizon. While the scene was nice prior to sunrise, after the sun gained a bit of altitude above the horizon, it started to beam through the fog covering the lake – making the fog look like it was on fire. The image below was shot with my 500 mm lens as this small section of the scene was actually on the opposite end of the lake from where I was standing. The color was actually this vibrant and the scene was very dynamic. The fog was constantly moving, and the light was changing rapidly as the sun rose higher in the sky. Very exciting to say the least! All in all, a great morning to remember and appreciate the natural wonders so close to home.
