“Dawn” was taken at sunrise on January 1st, 2011 at the Bosque del Apache in New Mexico. The temperature was about 10 degrees. In the earliest moments as the sun rose to the east, we experienced about 10 minutes of incredible light, revealing the silhouettes of tens of Sandhill Cranes and hundreds of snow geese in the rising mist. Almost as quickly as this magical light appeared... it was gone.
