Chasing sunrise cloud magic on Pre’s Trail at Eugene’s Alton Baker Park lasted about 30 minutes before the rain swept in.
Chasing sunrises
Chasing a sunrise requires getting up early – trying to arrive at the best photo location about 30 minutes before official sunrise. Today, Feb 3, sunrise was 07:29. I needed an hour to walk … left home ~06:00, headlamp turned up bright.
Earliest cloud magic
Shortly after leaving the park on the bark dust trail, a comms tower appears to hold up the clouds
Around the corner toward the open field, the clouds billowed up together
Right before dawn
A couple planes appeared in the sky over amazing wisps and then disappearing in the upper clouds
Dawn – sunrise chase complete
Returning on Pre’s Trail
Along the river several people walked their dogs and the ducks tried to stay warm
By the time I returned, camera was in Ultra sack, and my raincoat was wet.
