I took this photo last weekend during sunrise in Pittsburgh. We got a good show from Mother Nature that morning.
Sunrise Seattle
MJ and I spent a little time early one morning at Kerry Park in Seattle. Great views from this spot.
MJ and at at Kerry Park in Seattle….location where I took the photos above
Mexican Resort and Sunrise
All I have for you today, is a photo from paradise. I took this drone photo during sunrise near Playa del Carmen Mexico.
London’s Tower Bridge
Here is another photo from my spring trip to London. This photo was the product of an early morning photo walk with Robert. We got lucky with a nice sunrise.
Aruba Sunset
There are so many great sunsets in Aruba. This is just one of many….they have a great sunset like this essentially every day.
Mardi Gras Sunrise
I took this photo at the stern of the Carnival Mardi Gras right underneath the roller coaster… (as you can guess by the title of this post) at sunrise. I love how all the different colors in this photo play with your eyes. I think it works in a weird way. I don’t think you’d walk past this spot normally and think “photo spot”. But on this morning, it caught my attention.
Miami Beach Lifeguard Shack
I’m taking a break from urban exploration and Ukraine photos for a second. Here is something a little happier.
I took this series of photos during a past trip to the beach. Per my normal routine, I got up early several mornings to capture the sunrise. This was a great morning and the lifeguard shacks helped make for an interesting subject. I also posted a behind the scenes video below of this morning.
Miami Beach Hot Spot
Up and down Miami Beach they have these amazing Art Deco Lifeguard shacks of all shapes and colors. I captured a bunch of photos as you can probably guess. I loved them all.
Let The Sun Shine Through
I took this drone photo during the pandemic, but honestly, I don’t remember when. It seems like the last two years have been a blur. So, the context of dates during that time is just off in my head. Maybe that’s stress from work during this time, maybe it is just old age…. Regardless, it wasn’t taken last week.
This is downtown Pittsburgh right after sunrise.
Sunrise Yoga
During our last trip to Mexico, the resort held a yoga session on the beach at sunrise each morning. I didn’t participate, but the yoga group helped provide an area of interest in this high angle drone photos so that it was an empty beach.
Playa Sunrise
I hope you’re having a great weekend. This is one of the many great sunrises we had in Playa del Carmen Mexico.
CCL Mardi Gras
Here is another photo from our time on the Carnival Mardi Gras. As you can tell, I captured this at sunrise. Just me and a lone swimmer.
Pittsburgh Dawn
This photo isn’t from today (Christmas day), but it could have been. It has been overcast with no snow here for most of December. Regardless, it’s a beautiful city and photo. Have a great holiday weekend.
Alcoa Arconic
I hope everyone in the United States has a great Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow.
Today’s photo is an image I took a few months ago in downtown Pittsburgh. This building sits on the North Shore next to the 7th Street Bridge. I took this photo at sunrise to get the sun reflecting off the glass.
Somewhere in Mexico
I honestly don’t remember where I took this photo. It was around Cancun somewhere, either south or north of the city. Regardless, I like the colors and warmth of this photo. Just looking at it, creates a desire to go back… like right now!!
Layers Of Water
I took this photo a few months ago during sunrise at the Point State Park. The water fountain at the “point” can make for some great photo opportunities throughout the day. Plus, you have the river in the background, which adds another layer of depth to the photo.
Sunrise Point
Brad, Blair and I met way, way, way too early this morning (my sleep will be messed up for a week) to photograph the sunrise in downtown Pittsburgh. For those of you who don’t know, there is a Pennsylvania state park positioned where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers come together to form the Ohio River in the heart of the city. The park’s name is Point State Park for obvious reasons.
Anyway, at the “point” in the park where the rivers come together is a large water fountain. They turn it on right after sunrise each day. We wanted to capture the sunrise reflection in the water of the fountain. Fortunately, it worked out since I’ve failed to capture this a few times in the past. We finally got a nice sunrise and sky, which made this image powerful.
Miami's Big Ball
Sunrise from Miami Beach earlier this year. I loved all the different Art Deco designed lifeguard shacks up and down the beach.
Pre-dawn Confidante Hotel
MJ and I spent a week here in January to escape work, COVID (well sort of), and life. Lots of lounging by the pool that week. I captured this photo a few minutes before sunrise one morning. Nice hotel and location.
Miami Beach Sunrise
I loved all the different Art Deco Lifeguard shacks along Miami Beach. Maybe the best Lifeguard shacks ever built.
