Facing the Moon, Facing the Sun

It was one of those days that I wished I didn't have to go to work, and instead linger over the sights I saw on my drive in this morning. 


It was a frosty-cold morning and the big, fat moon lit my way.  It shone so brightly, it silhouetted a group of trees way up high on a hill, just as the sun would, contrasting a small portion of the scene on the hill with surrounding darkness.







Continuing several miles further on my route and keeping my eye the moon the whole time, I noticed at one point, the colorful swirling smoke near the moon, left behind from a passing airplane.  It introduced a whole different element to this scene where I now stopped, and the sky was now just beginning to brighten.






Moonlight cast a blue glow on the river.  I shot this from the seat of my car.






Heading upstream, I now faced the direction of the rising sun.  Mist was rising off the water, creating this enchanting scene.






I went into work with a feeling like I've lived a whole life in just one hour, and I'm still feeling the high.
