A couple of weeks ago I posted about my experience of seeing the very early sunrise from Cadillac Mountain in Maine (The Sun Shall Rise). I’ve never taken so many photos of a single sunrise, so there are lots more to share! We were lucky enough to get a gorgeous day for this event, which provided plenty of opportunities.

Here’s an image that I took a little later than the one in the other post…

Sunrise Silhouette

As the sun was getting higher into the sky, I noticed this couple admiring the amazing view over the water. This immediately gave me the idea for this shot, so I took my tripod and camera to find the right spot. Lucky for me, they were mesmerized and didn’t move!

If I could have posed them, I would prefer them to be a bit close to each other, but beggars…

What I enjoy most about getting shots like this is the sense of scale that we can provide as humans. We’re wanderers within a vast universe. I’m always filled with awe about how much there is to discover and learn about our cosmos, so let’s keep exploring and learning!
