19Oct05 Sunrise through the Trees - 6612

Ledyard, CT

Photo a Day, Day 203...I read on someones gallery (sorry can't remember whose I was viewing at the time) that to get the star/ray effect on the sun, use a small apperature... noticed the sun just peaking through the trees this morning while getting my son ready for school and decided to run outside with the tripod and try it out...
