Sunrise on the Foothills Parkway

Got up at 5am this morning to walk the dog, have breakfast and drive up to the foothills for a sunrise.

It had rained the night before and when I looked outside at 5am it was still VERY cloudy. I got back in bed and said the hell with it. Then before I went to sleep I remembered what I said to myself the night before.

"I am going rain or shine, you never know when the defining moment will happen."

Sure enough as I got closer to the overlook the clouds did seperate and my opportunity to see my previsioned moment arrived.

Make a plan, and stick to it even in the face of failure is the only way to succeed.

Side note. I used a 2 and a 3 stop neutral density filter at an angle from the upper right sky to the bottom of the road to be able to bring out the foreground.
