Sunrise in Montana

DSCF1736


So, back to the trip, we woke up very early in Jordan and hit the road, an empty road I might add. As I saw the world around me getting lighter I decided to take a peek over my shoulder - well that view was enough to get us to pull the car over.

Here comes the sun! Anyone who has watched the sunrise, or set for that matter, knows how fast it happens. You must be fast to shoot the occurrence - all the photos above were taken with the point and shoot because I wanted wide shots and I didn't want to take the time to change the lens on the big camera for fear of missing it.

The moon was still awake as the sun came up. And the world was quiet, no cars, no city noises, everywhere I turned it was open road, open land and Big Sky!

  8. Amazing shots, Lisa! These are spectacular, especially given that they are from a point-n-shoot. I'm over the moon with your big-camera moon shot. Just gorgeous!

  9. Amazing ... and you got the sun just as he peeked up!
    Reminds me why they call Montana Big Sky Country.
