 I was late to work this morning because of this.

I could not believe the colors and lighting. This is not altered in any way. It is a direct out of camera shot looking west as the sun was rising. My photo friends would probably tell me the color balance was all wrong and what I should have done to get the exposure right and not so blue but I knew I was working with very limited time.

This was the best of the five photos I was able to take while the light lasted and until my hands froze because I forgot my gloves.

“So what are you doing tomorrow?”
“I’m going out hiking to look for a gnome.”
“A gnome?”
“Yes, I heard there’s one in the mountain.”
“The mountains by our house?”
“Yep.”
“We’ve always lived here. I’ve never seen a gnome before.”
“Well have you ever looked?”
“No.”
“Sometimes it’s hard to find something you’ve never looked for before. So do you wanna come with me tomorrow?”
“Sure.”
“Cool. Next week we can go look for fairies.”

Do you see the gnome?
