Location
This photo was taken in my home town. There is a field that use to be a train depot. Tracks can still be seen in the grass and a turntable sits rusting in a mound of dirt riddled with groundhog holes. The track seen here is still used to shuttle railcars that are being stored.Time
I walk my dog along these tracks because it's quiet in the early morning. Just as the sun was rising over town, I stood in the old train field and watched the colors changing as the sun came up. The twin trees created such a beautiful contrast to the glorious color behind themLighting
Nature has a fascinating way of balancing light and dark. I just captured what nature painted.Equipment
This was taken with my cellphone camera.Inspiration
Darkness has a way of drawing our attention to light and color. The brilliant colors in the sky captured my imagination and I wanted to take the magic with me.Editing

I have a Nikon Coolpix but I don't take it when I walk my dog. It's awkward to carry and use. My cellphone is always there and has captured most of my photos.Feedback
Go out early. Enjoy what is right in front of you and find magic in the ordinary. If you feel it, others will too.
