Return to Presque Isle State Park: Erie

I finally did it. I kicked my ass to get up for sunrise. I don't know why exactly, but I have been struggling to get up and go shoot early a.m. this year. I think part of it is that I feel like I've been to the locations before, and the "wow" factor just isn't there for me.

Saturday I did it though, I made it to Erie's Presque Isle State Park for sunrise. Now you might remember the top photo below from last year at the park (one of my all-time favorite landscapes). So knowing that there were definitely good things to be seen, I set the alarm for 5:30. And hit snooze until 5:45. And finally got up at 5:55.

I will add, it helped that Jess asked me to call her at six to make sure she was up, so I had that motivation going for me. Which is nice.

Here's Saturday's select.



Now I can hear you already. "You got up how early for one photo?" Yup, that's just how it works sometimes. More to come shortly.
