It’s pretty rare to see the WWII without any people in it. Here’s the secret: get your butt out of bed really early in the morning.

As I was driving in, I thought it was going to be a really nice sunrise because of how cloudy it was. And it was in a few areas of the sky. Hoping for more days like this one so I can get different perspectives 🙂

I got this great comment on my youtube video of when I traveled to VA Beach. It said:

“I love your videos! But most of all how you always truly enjoy each sunrise.
I work with a lot of photographers and they get so “jaded” after shooting for many years. It makes it hard for me to pose because like you each shoot is an opportunity and adventure for me.
It’s so wonderful to watch somebody that enjoys their work.”

It seriously made my day when I read that. I’m so glad that you all can see how much I love what I do and I appreciate the opportunity to shoot such a beautiful landscape almost everyday.

As I was walking around the park, I noticed the people there taking pictures of the sunset. Despite the one image I got of it, I couldn’t really find another compelling composition. I noticed these trees on the other side of this little swamp and thought they looked so pretty. I spent a few minutes trying to come up with a peaceful composition and after I took it, I thought to myself “that is so ME”! I love taking pics with most of the subject on the bottom 3rd of the image with a beautiful sky.
