Sunrise over the Potomac

My daughter and I went out early Saturday morning to capture the sunrise over the potomac river at Algonkian Regional Park in Sterling, VA.  This is the same location where I posted sunrise shots from almost a year ago.  This time, the clouds provided much more colorful images.  As always, I appreciate your feedback.

Columbus Day Weekend Shooting

Sunrise over the Potomac River

With the long Holiday weekend, I went out a couple mornings for some early morning photo sessions.  I was largely motivated by the Mindful Eye Community Assignment on long exposure night photography.  This assignment required an exposure time of 4 minutes or longer.

The first shot, shown above, was of the Potomac River at Algonkian Regional Park about an hour before sunrise.  The sky was perfectly clear, the river calm, and the sun rising to the east provided a beautiful gradient of color across the sky.
