Sunrise at Tetney Haven

Photo courtesy of Mark Johnson. Photographer Mark Johnson captured this gorgeous image of a magnificent sunrise at England's Tetney Haven. The area marshes truly are havens for many species of birds, and as you can tell by Mr. Johnson's picture it is also an excellent place to take in a sunrise or two! Here are a few words about the image: "I took this picture while on an outing to photograph some birds. I knew the weather was going to be nice (which is unusual for the UK), so I got up before dawn and arrived at the local coastal marshes just as the sun was rising. I shot the image handheld using a Canon EOS 30D equipped with a 400mm f/5.6 prime lens. Tetney Haven is an excellent place to capture "waders". You'll find it on the east coast of the United Kingdom in northeast Lincolnshire."   --Mark Johnson It's hard for me to associate spectacular sunrises with the UK, but today's picture is proof that you sure can find them there. Excellent shot Mark - keep up the great work!   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!            Why I publish the "Picture of the Day"
