Ithaca Falls at sunrise — one of the few mornings on the trip without total cloud cover. Light like this doesn’t last long, but it’s worth waiting for.

Sunset over Jordan Pond. Long exposure to still the water, but the pastel glow is doing most of the work. Just color and calm.

a close-up portrait of a freckled girl in a fuzzy cat-ear hoodie, eyes closed with a serene smile, backlit by early golden hour sunlight, f/1.8, 50mm lens, soft bokeh in the background, shallow depth of field with manual focus on her cheeks and lips, pastel tones with slight color lift, Kodak Gold 200 emulation, warm film grain and glow blending gently into the hoodie fibers, lens flare and edge bloom add to the dreamlike softness

Soft Like Dawn

It was early morning in Nerja.
She wore a white shirt and black bikini bottoms.
The light was soft.
The vibe was not.

Un bout de plage fermé par une digue de rochers, un peu avant le lever du soleil. La mer a pris des reflets d’argent et le sable humide des reflets dorés. Quelques mouettes rieuses sont posées sur le sable.

A view from just below the summit of Mt. Bierstadt at sunrise, capturing a sweeping vista of Colorado’s Front Range peaks bathed in soft early light. The foreground shows rugged tundra slopes in earthy tones, leading to sharp, jagged mountain ridges that rise dramatically against the sky. The highlight is the stunning sunrise gradient in the sky—starting with warm pinks near the horizon and fading upward into cool blues—created by Earth’s shadow during civil twilight. The peaks are still in shadow, with only faint light outlining their textures, while the air appears crisp and perfectly still. The photo was taken after a pre-dawn ascent, emphasizing the quiet, raw solitude that defines the alpine zone before the day begins in full. There are no people, no sun visible—just the natural transition from night to morning unfolding across an ancient landscape.

This is what sunrise looks like at 14,000 feet: Earth’s shadow rising, the Belt of Venus glowing, and every ridge catching its first glimpse of light. Love a good 4am start watching the twinkling headlamps working their way to the summit. #mtbierstadt #sunriselight

Armagh Street gate leading into Christchurch’s Hagley park. I caught the golden light just bursting through a few minutes after sunrise.
