Blackwater

Blackwater NWR, Cambridge, MD

Went to Blackwater NWR Yesterday on the prediction that it would be sunny
cool and breezy. Perfect for flight shots of the many eagles that are there (somewhere).
Well, This is sunrise the breezy part was 25-30 mph so the cool was closer to COLD.
and the when the sun did pop out between the clous the birds were either nowhere to
be found or way to far away. I didn't even get a good Blue Heron, usually a given.

Sunrise was spectacular though a little difficult to get properly exposed.

Great light out of the sky, beautiful color on the horizon, and wonderful reflection on the water.

I like the moody, stormy feeling of this.
