Sunrise and moose

When I left my first account this morning I looked to the east and saw the sky on fire. Now my mission was to find a place to break out the camera without obstacles like light poles and telephone wires and stuff in the way of the pix's. I made it to Frontage Road and about 70th before I had what I thought was a good place to take some shots. I was a little closer than I would like, but OK.

So I'm taking a few shots and mumbling under my breath about street lights and background noise and stuff when I hear a grunt. I drop the camera from in front of my face and guess who's 10 feet right in front of me.

Excuse the pictures, I didn't have time to make adjustments. I was all set up for distant landscapes and stuff. He looked at me for a second or two longer and then headed on down the road.

From there it was coffee and danish time.
