While most of the rest of the West and North East part of the nation was having record snow storms we here in the mountains of Western NC had mostly rain.

After a day of rain and a night of rain, I went out early the other morning and decided to get a couple of photo's of the Foggy Sunrise before the clouds again moved in to erase the wonderful colors in the sky above the rising fog on the ground level.

Start of Sunrise in the South

About 5 minutes later in the South


I turned the camera towards the South West



The Hawks tree in the fog in the South West

Five minutes later...the clouds moved in once again erasing the Sunrise colors and replacing them with dark Blue/Grey rain clouds.

We recently had a trip to Pa. and while there had a couple of down days from business..so we went down to the Conowingo Dam in Md. to take some pictures of Eagles there...we arrived early and got a chance to photograph some of the Sunrise at the Dam.

Click on images to enlarge for a better view.

The Dam at beginning of Sunrise

Off in the distance...sunrise around the power lines


Power Towers surround the area



We didn't know it..but the Eagles don't usually arrive till around 9 AM or 10 AM so we just waited and watched the Gulls fishing in the water.

You can also skip on down to the two posts below to view some of the Eagles that we photographed.
