But I would drive 500 miles .. and I would drive 500 more ...
On a Saturday morning before the rush of the holiday season, I drove into the city for a sunrise. It is only about 40 miles away, but I would have easily driven a 1000 miles or more to see this sunrise.
Just a fun little twist on the lyrics to: The Proclaimers – I Would Walk 500 Miles

Well, it sure took some amazing PS skills to bend that fence so perfectly. :-) Okay, now the gushing begins. This is awesome. The shape of this photo is so unique, it moves the usual to the phenominal. It's one of a kind. Dang, I have a hard time with that much early morning gushing, so I hope you appreciate it. :-) Really a wonderful image. HFF.

Stunning tones and composition, really a gorgeous shot.
Irene2005 (29 months ago | reply)
What
said. :-)
But really you have to let us in on your secret. Where the heck do you find ALL THESE FENCES?!!! It is like someone puts them up for you and removes them the second you take your shot. Is this what happens? Because I can't find any...forget the bended sun-like awesome kind (like this one), anything other than two wooden planks will make me happy.
And, of course, this one is just perfect! Your sun-like fence compliments the real sun nicely. And these colors and bokeh are beyond gorgeous. HFF, Trina!

You drove 40 miles for a sunset?!!
And after all that driving, you take a fence shot.
Well a fence shot AND a sunset.
Well, a fence shot and a sunset across Lake Michigan.
Well, a fence shot and a sunset across Lake Michigan, with awesome bokeh.

Wow. Seriously wow! This is amazing. You know I'm being serious because I ended that sentence with a period and not even an exclamation point. I agree with everyone else above me about the shot...now let's just talk about that awesome song! What a great blast from the past - I used to dance all around the house to it! Think I"m going to have to go find it on iTunes right now... Love this one Trina! HFF :-)

Absolutely stunning. I love the view of the lake through that magnificent found fence (where in the world was it?). Totally worth the drive in - hope you enjoyed the city.
