DAWN AT SOUTH GLENMORE PARK, CALGARY, ALBERTA

I got up pondering potential photos locales in a cloudy dawn, but when I saw there would probably be a good sunrise, I rapidly changed my plans and drove to the Glenmore Reservoir (the primary source of drinking water for this western Canadian city). As you can see, it was a good move.
The spindly tree trunk you see here was pointed at me when I arrived at this spot. That wouldn't work for the photo, so I managed to turn it to the position you see here - which provides a stronger visual point of interest in the picture's bottom half.
Nikon D7100, tripod, graduated density (darkening) filter on the sky.
