First Light

MichaelinA2 from Ann Arbor, United States

Hi... Thanks for the kind words.

As to the color... the sun 's first early morning rays are striking the trees from below a dense cloud (golden hour light)... there's a slight mist rising off the meadow in the foreground (gray-blue)... fall leaf color in the trees (greens-orange-brown)... forest tree trunks (grey-brown-black)... understory leaves on shrubs have not changed, yet (strong green base)... understory grape vines are changing color (splash of yellow)... In a nutshell, just a lucky shot, as the color was vivid for about 10 minutes. Once the sun rose above the cloud, all was "back to Fall normal"... a dull gray overcast morning.

Cheers...
