Above the Canopy (Gabby)




Today it is raining again, but a few days ago I visited the canopy tower here at the station for sunrise and saw one of the most spectacular sunrises of my life. The sky turned a bright red and was covered in beautiful clouds. Then the light poured through the mist over the river creating a stunning show of rays through the fog. I was at the top of a 180 foot tower and it was a bit shaky becuase of the height. We climbed up a ladder that went straight up using harnesses to catch us if we fell. It was a very difficult climb with the camera equipment but totally worth it.

Using image stabilization I was able to get a few sharp shots. See below.
