Lake Edwards, Riverside. This water reservoir's placid surface mirrors the sky. Though the lake is man-made, it seems primeval,
the setting for the beginning of some new life form.

One Morning's Views: Mount Rubidoux
I often enjoy the wide range of different views that a sunrise hike around Mount Rubidoux affords. This morning was yet another example. All of the following photographs were captured on a single hike on Mount Rubidoux, (Riverside, California) around sunrise on November 11, 2009. They are shown here in sequential order.
For you gearheads (you know who you are): Nikon D200 with DX AF-S Nikkor 18-105mm 1:3.5-5.6 VR lens.
