Sunrise and Lonely Trees – Photographers View

Lonely trees hold a fascination for me and many other landscape photographers. Their isolation and often gnarled and twisted appearance adds to their attraction though to me they seem to emanate a feeling of sadness.

With this collection of lonely trees I have tried to counter that feeling of sadness and isolation by photographing them at sunrise, the dawning of a new day.

Sunrise over pines

Here are a couple of images of sunrise over pines taken at 5am from a few days ago, a brilliant fiery sunrise that lasted only 15 minutes or so and proceeded a day of heavy rain showers.
