Balsam Fir and sunrise (final)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At 4:30am, I hiked out to the coastal headlands and arrived at White Head shortly before sunrise.\u00a0 Although the weather was hazy, the pre-dawn light in the sky was interesting and beautiful.\u00a0 As the sun rose to the horizon, the colors begain to fade and I believed the show was over, so abandoned my perch atop the cliff, 160 feet above the sea, and hiked north along the coast.<\/p>\n

Fifteen\u00a0minutes later, I spied this oddly shaped tree atop an exposed cliff and made the image shown here, a silhouette against a grey sky.<\/p>\n

The hike to the north had brought me down to sea level and the cliffs now loomed above me. Unexpectedly, just to the left of the tree, the sun was beginning to rise behind the cliff.\u00a0 The show wasn\u2019t over yet.\u00a0 The time was almost 6 a.m.<\/p>\n

Scrambling along the coastal rocks, I positioned myself such that the tree was in front of the rising sun.\u00a0 The second shot here is 15 minutes after the grey-sky shot.\u00a0 Then, the final image is an additional 5 minutes later, about 6:20 a.m.<\/p>\n
