TEXTURES AND PATTERNS FROM THE EARLY MORNING SNOW DUCKS Most of the South Coast

Most of the South Coast is made up of sea cliffs and beaches

I left the house before 5:am and after photographing the wildflowers for a couple hours

In this shot

I knew where in the park I wanted to catch the sunrise and photograph it

TEXTURES AND PATTERNS FROM THE EARLY MORNING SNOW DUCKS Most of the South CoastThis January winter morning sunrise brought some incredible lighting of cool and soft looking colors around these elderberry bushes along the South Fork Kishwaukee River in Northern Illinois. I like how the soft lighting brings out the textures of the patterns in the snow beneath the elderberry bushes. The temperature was an incredible 28F. (529 38)
