Monday Morning Sunrise II

Docks on Folly River, Folly Beach, SC  © Doug Hickok
(Canon 5D Mark II camera, 24-105mm f/4 lens, at 100mm, 1.3 sec at f/11, ISO 100, tripod)


A sunrise along the Folly River at low tide - boat docks and fishing platforms line the edge of the tidal marsh, leading toward the glowing light in the east.

The cycles of our lives, like the cycles of nature, often have a pattern, an order,
an up and down rhythm like the tides of the sea. Mondays are Mondays. But Tuesdays
are sure to arrive on time. And so the rhythm of the week continues unabated.

    and in that cycle of our lives isn't it a little miracle to stop and gaze on such a dawn.

    An atmosphere of sheer unadulterated peace. Your words of the patterns of life are so true - but isn't it great to leap out of them once in a while!
