morning light - Oct 6th 2010

Driving to work, I often see this view at 68th and McKnight. For a while now I've wanted to shoot it. I like how all the street lights are standing there in a cluster around the Stoney/McKnight interchange. The power poles help to lead you into the photo.

On this day, there was a nice orange/blue colour gradient and my camera just happened to have the 85mm on it which turned out to be a good focal length for the composition - I pulled my camera out of the bag and snapped this photo while waiting for the light to change.

I always take my camera bag with me. Sometimes I get lucky and what I've been waiting for just shows up.

The world is beautiful.

Thanks for looking.
