A Golden Morning

A Golden Morning

I got up early again this morning, this time I was out the door by 7am. The plan was to go to the gym, grab a coffee and then find out where there might be a local hiking trail that I could walk around and take some fall foliage shots.

As would have it, the gym did not end up opening till 8am, so I had 45minutes to kill.

So I mixed up the order a little bit and hit a local Starbucks for the coffee and then cruised some familiar areas that I always had wanted to get some early morning pictures of.

A very familiar street that I once drove pretty much daily runs from Route 55 all the way up do Davis Drive. Along the way there are several bends in the road each one giving a reason to pull over and grab the camera.

The particular bend happens to have a intersection with several barns that are visible. The thing is, this morning it was not the barns that I noticed first. As I was rounding the bend, the glow of the rising sun literally just lit the tops of this grass/weed/growth up a bright golden orange. The fact that there was a barn there with a red tin roof was just a bonus.
