Crater Lake Sunrise

Crater Lake Sunrise ... finally

You may have realized I'm not a morning person. Sleep is too precious to me. So, when I wake early, which I do most days, I look not for a reason to get up but for a reason to return to sleep. And, unfortunately, most morning I find an excuse. It's usually the lack of stars which tells me there's thick cloud cover and a sunrise trip isn't worth the effort. Fortunately, this morning there were lots of stars at 4 when I looked out my truck's window and a nice scattering of clouds. So I crawled out of my warm sleeping bag and made the 7 mile trip to the crater. The sun was still well below the horizon but that wasn't going to last much longer. I literally ran up the hill to the spot I'd already chosen for my sunrise shot and I got the camera ready. It was worth the effort ... don't you think?
