Calm Me

Calm Me, originally uploaded by danr_co.

Sunrise at Chatfield State Park, southwest of Denver, CO, US of A.

One interesting thing is that at this time, just before sunrise, the lake is very calm. As the sun rises, wind starts to blow across the lake, giving rise to small waves. In fact, you can see the first ripples in the picture as the grey band interrupting the orange reflection - the first breezes headed towards me from the other shore. You can literally watch the wind move over the water.
