Sublime Sunrise

I still have many other photos to go through but wanted to post this one while I am still out on the road for our yearly family trip. Which of course includes some photography. How can you not in such a beautiful place!

The forecast when we headed to Glacier National Park was for mostly sunny skies, which we got. However, closer to the end of the trip I was pleasantly rewarded with this amazing sunrise. I literally had to stand there and stare at it's beauty for close to a minute before I could get the camera out. It was one of my favorite sunrises to soak in and I feel thankful I was there to enjoy the moment. After shooting for about 25 min I was scared off by some grunting not too far off in the dense forest. Not sure if it was a bear or moose but I was in bear country and not to keen to hang out there by myself much longer! Fortunately I already knew I had the shot I truly wanted.
