Sunrise

I took this photograph from our North-facing window this morning. I was visited by a dream last night and I was curious about it, uplifted, while at the same time aware of an old sadness beneath the uplift.

In composing the image there was a tension between wanting to lift the viewfinder fully to the sunrise and wanting to stay in connection with the human realm, not yet in light. In the end the composition stayed "snapped" to the dark city forms; it's not enough to have just an expanse of exquisite sunrise.
