THE BRIDGE AND THE WILLOW TREE

Overnight we had 2-3 inches of snow and the forecast for this morning was to be sunny with a few clouds, so I decided to brave the frigid -18F temperature to catch this sunrise in the park. Combining the recent snowfall and the sunshine predicted, I set out to photograph the sunrise. As I was trekking along, I was thinking where I would photograph the sunrise and thought that the bridge over a frozen South Fork Kishwaukee River and the peachleaf willow tree would be a good place to set up the tripod. I didn't have to wait long before the colors of the sunrise were revealed and the morning sun would light up the landscape. It turned out to be a beautiful sunrise in the park. 1/26/2019 (528-46)
