Urban landscapes: the revealing dawn

ST. MINA COPTIC ORTHODOX CHURCH, BALZAC, ALBERTA

Came across the beautiful example of retro modern architecture while looking for sunrise pictures and just had to find my way into the parking lot to make pictures.
There’s a funny story here; after capturing this view, I moved back and up a small ridge to (hopefully) get more of the clouds into the scene. Just when I was set up and ready to make exposures, all the church lights — including the parking lot lights — turned off. I guess they were all on some sort of timer. Whatever the case, I laughed myself silly. 🙂
