Sunrise Reach

Up for the sunrise on my last day in Phoenix. I was truly glad that I didn't need to wear gloves since it was 50f (10c), gotta love warmer temps.

I like the sun peeping over the horizon and the light on that cactus is great.

@fbailey Thank you so much. The arm of this Sanita Cactus has lots of character.

@samae Truly appreciate the fav, the venti starbucks on the way back helped too.

@kmwilliams Love cacti in the early morning, they still look 'friendly'

@golftragic There is something so peaceful about sunrises, at least when one doesn't freeze to catch one.:):)

@ziggy77 You are so kind, truly grateful for the fav.

@ingajohansson Thank you so much, I love the solitude of early morning. I was very happy that I got to visit the cacti one more time before we left.

@lsquared So kind, thank you.

@haskar Truly appreciate the fav, Cacti have wonderful character in spite of their defenses.

@jernst1779 Thank you so much.

@yaorenliu Thank you so much. When it's early and quiet is my favorite time to be in Phoenix.

[Marnie]

Absolutely right.

[Louis A. Sousa]

Fantastic.

[Michael Lodge]

Very effective. I wonder what it would look like cropped a little on the left and more of a crop on the right to remove the sun so that the whole subject is just the backlit cactus. My mind thinks it would could work and almost make it an abstract.
