Description

I do not get up for sunrise pictures very often but on this day I woke up early and headed out. It started out totally overcast and I was going to give up. I decided to wait another 15 minutes and within that time the cloud cover broke and the sun came shining through. It is amazing what 15 minutes will get you.
