A Slither of Sunrise
2016 - 365 Project

128/365v3 – A Slither of Sunrise.

Some days you just have to use what you have. This shot is from my morning walk and is one of those emergency shots you take, just so you have something in the bag. Today I was glad to have it as this was the best part of the day
