Autumn Sunrise

When I woke this morning and looked out the window I knew right away I had to capture the moment. So, still in pajamas, I grabbed my camera and walked down to the beach to record the sun rising behind Rangitoto Island and the early morning crowd out getting their exercise. A man passed nearby walking his Dog. “Good morning”, I said. “Good morning” he replied, no doubt wondering why I was still wearing my PJs on the beach. It didn’t worry me. I got my pictures and was feeling very happy.

Going …

… and coming

Hi Chris, I love your photographs! I do PowerPoint for our church services. Would you allow us to use some of your pictures? Right now our services are on YouTube.

    Thank you! Our church is St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, USA. Here’s a link to last week’s service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xQUa35kSIs&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0peIofzqZtP_nXiRgiQIC1-xqCpWjBV-v18P8cwNfFAz1sT9J2H5zPB8I I’ll be sure to put your name on the sunrise photo. It will be shown during an instrumental arrangement of “When Morning Gilds the Skies”. Thanks again!
