Description

This was Friday mornings sunrise taken and edited on my cell phone.  Location is highway 212 eastbound in South Dakota near Mud Butte.  It was a glorious sunrise and I feel privileged to have seen it.  I didn't have time to stop and shoot it properly but I've learned to take what I can get--like through a bug splattered windshield is better than no shot at all and I got about a dozen keepers.

I thought about editing out all the bug splots but then I just left them.  It's how I remember seeing the sunrise and it's how you would have seen them too if you had been there with me.

I titled it Rich because that's how I felt--RICH.  Rich in life, Rich in having the opportunity to have witnessed this amazing sunrise.  Rich because I had the right tool for the job (in reality, the right camera is the one you have with you).  Rich because I can share this with you. 

I'm not made of money.  I've pursued money all my life--kind of a silly thing to do when you think about it but it's a necessary evil.  There are bills to pay even if you're debt free--water bills, utilities, taxes...you name it and someone has their hand in your pocket rummaging around for your spare change.  I've found in my 51 years that the REAL riches of life are these moments--the sunrises and sunsets, the great summer thunderstorms, natural beauty.  Things that make me feel GREAT!  Money can't buy something like this sunrise and that's how it should be.

I'll be in and out on DA--mostly out as work is just such a time suck! LOL!  have a great summer, take care and know that I think about many of you daily.

Edited just because I like this shot and I was feeling kind of nostalgic about the driving days.  THAT feeling has passed though :lmao:  Tuned on the download link for anyone who wants to download it.  Screen saver, wallpaper, photomanipulations...whatever.  My gift to you.
