Almost makes getting up at the crack of dawn worth it

Click to enlarge (it's worth it)
.
I fell asleep on the couch the other night and woke up at 6:00 with a really horrible backache. I was about to crawl upstairs for a few extra minutes of sleep in an actual bed when I happened to glance out the window and decided it would be better to go for the camera instead.
.
This shot was taken on my patio and is straight out of the camera. All I did was put the frame around it. Mother nature did all the photoshopping on her own, meddling would have been completely superfluous.

  3. Definitely worth embiggening! And even worth a backache (well, okay, I realize it's not my back we're talking about so easy for me to say but still...)

    Isn't it cool when all the editing is already done? I love when that happens.

  13. I agree that editing would have been quite unnecessary. Nearly worth the backache :P
    Well at least for us other sky watchers. It is a enchanting image.

    Thanks for dropping by in my blog and commenting on the moon, which actually was the sun :) Others made the same assumption too.

  14. Thanks for your visit and kind comment. Yours is a wonderful landscape too.

    Like you, I do not crop or Photoshop my images.

  15. Well, I do do some artistic cropping or photoshopping, particularly on my more "artsy" shots, but not usually on landscapes, and this one was definitely as nature intended it to be :).

  16. Wish I could get that kind of view from my back yard! It is a glorious shot.

  17. Loved the sentiment of 'mother nature did all the photoshopping.'
    This is such a rich golden color - a beautiful sunrise!

  18. Mother Nature is a lot better at photoshopping than I am.

    I also love yours screensaver on the laptop on your banner. It looks like a golf hole at Southern Hills here in Tulsa.

    Thanks,
