Urban landscapes: the stunning sunrise
A HOLE IN THE CLOUDS, CALGARY, ALBERTA
The day was supposed to be cloudy, but I was itching to make some pictures, so I ventured out anyway. This was my reward — 20 minutes of amaaaaaaazing dawn light striking the skyline of this western Canadian city.
See the tower under construction? That’s Telus Sky and it’s the reason I avoid photographing skylines when something major is being built. After all, as soon as the structure is finished, any pictures I’ve made would be instantly dated. But how could I say no to capturing this glorious spring light?
Nikon D7100, graduated density (darkening) filter on the sky and buildings.

Oh Frank, this is delightful. The light is fantastic, and your tenacity for capturing this scene paid off.
