Tree at Dawn, a photo from Texas, South

Photographer's Note

The first rays of sunlight creep over the horizon to start a new day. The mists still roll over the fields, and the birds have awakened. The fireflies' lights are now gone and stars no longer twinkle. Watching in silent witness, a tree stands guard at the entrance to Brazos Bend State park.
---
Brazos Bend State Park is one of many in Texas. Over 270 different species of birds have been seen in the park, as well as alligators (obviously, no swimming at this park). Snakes, armadillos, and other assorted wildlife can be found in the park as well. Fishing, picnic areas, and miles of hiking/biking trails meander through the park.

Not shown, the most notable feature of the park is the presence of the George Observatory in the park. Saturday nights it is open to the public and you can look through large telescope as well as many smaller ones set up by local astronomers.

Alone on the road at dawn. Watching as the night evaporate and anticipating the adventures that the morning will bring...

I like the concept and thought there is a potential to improve the picture (see WS).

Hi Robert,
I like your perspective and framing for this shot. It is a good sunrise photo. I have also been to Brazos Bend park and we truly enjoyed it. I just recently posted a picture from the park (inside of the park). Take a look when you get a chance and let me know what you think. It is a great place to spend an afternoon.
cheers,
Behrang
