I got up at 5:30 this morning to get this shot of LA at dawn.

What we put ourselves through for our art.

But I think it was well worth it. What a magical shot!
I'd love to see that for myself someday.

Nice capture Endre. I have always liked city scapes taken with a light sky yet visible city lighting. Nice timing and colors. You can always look at it that you were up at 8:30 New York time...not so early after all.

Nice! Tom has said just about everything that occurred to me, both serious and light hearted, so...I'll just add "I hope you are good at returning to bed for a nap when needed".

So if you got up at 10:00 in New York, you could
say it's only 7:00 in LA, so that would count as "early
morning"?

Now talking about Europe ...

5:30

for you Endre, looks like normal time, you just you never hit the sac......

Well regardless loss of sleep and all, this is a really neat shot. Great colors and wonderful capture of natural and man made lights and landscape.

I must have come back to view this one a dozen times since you posted it.

I'm going to be torn between this and 'Day Break' by 1_of_9 when voting comes around... because I'm sure both will make it to the show.

Very nice.

Endre,

This is a wonderful shot - not bad at all for someone unaccustomed to seeing daybreak.

I like your use of the branch in the upper right-hand corner to give it perspective. Well done!

Best regards,
Robert

Endre,

I really like this shot big time. Love the inky black foreground, and a touch of leaves on the right to add depth. I imagine this would look great enlarged to a poster sized print.

Thanks to all of you, my dear friends here at FM WA. I really appreciate your kind words. I don't think I'll be posting here much for awhile. On Sunday night, my darling baby boy, Antal, who so often graced these WA's with his infectious presence died in a tragic, senseless freak accident. Needless to say, we are all bereft. He would have been 12 on Thanksgiving Day. The funeral is tomorrow - ironically, it is also our 20th Wedding Anniversary. I love all of you - my dear friends and supporters here at the WA. Occasionally, in the fog of grief, I'll stop by to check out the WA. Eventually I'll post again. Thanks.

Endre

Dear Endre,

Jane and I are in shock at hearing this tragic news, and we share in your grief. My vocabulary is inadequate to express the sorrow and anguish that we feel right now. We have gotten to know you and your wonderful family through your photos - some comical, some serious, but always superb, always competitive.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. May God bless and comfort you.

With love,
Robert and Jane

Dear Endre

I am so very shocked, I hardly know what to say. I can't begin to think what shock and bewilderment you and your family must be feeling. My heart goes out to you.

May God grant you some comfort at this time; we're thinking of you
WIth love to you all

My deepest sympathy on your loss. There are no words to compare to such a tragedy, and I can only hope we see you back here with your wonderful photos soon.

Wow Endre I had not checked back in a few days. We are so sorry about your loss. Gayle and I have enjoyed your entries for the last few months I have been on WA. Hang in there man, you and your family are in our thoughts.
