The Songs Of Life: Woke Up This Morning

Challenge #4 in the The Songs Of Life series. Hosted by The Bacon Wagoneer.

Challenge has finished

READ THE RULES! This challenge is all about interpretation: I named it with the title of a popular song (by A3 - title song for 'The Sopranos'), and it will be up to the entrants to determine what the song means to them - and how they can express that with a photo.

I was driving to work early to catch up on things, and this dramatic sunrise over a fishing pond on the side of the highway got the best of me. I had to get past a locked gate and a couple of mean geese, but I got my photos and had a good day at work, too!

I like the shot but why square cropping? What in the world is that shadow that looks like an alien hand/fingers?
The ripple with the clouds and sky are fantasic! My favorite content of this shot.

The light mist and morning colors come together to create a fantastic scene. Lovely!
