September Sunrise, Lake Hamilton

Sunrise on Lake Hamilton — the broad Arkansas lake in the Ouachitas catching the first color of the day, the surrounding hills still in shadow as the sky lights up over the water. A different morning, a different season, from the autumn frames elsewhere in this collection.

Photographed at Lake Hamilton in September 2021. Late summer sunrises here are softer than the autumn ones — more haze, warmer color — and the lake stays calm well into the morning.
