April 30, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

Dawn is a magical time for me as a photographer. While the sun hasn't yet risen above the horizon, it shines just enough light on the night sky to splash some purple and red on an otherwise deep blue canvas.

It's currently undergoing repairs required due to significant damage that was caused by a magnitude 5.8 earthquake that occurred back in August 2011.
