All in all nice photos. Reply Marcy Ayanian February 22, 2013 Gorgeous photos! “Casting Shadows” and “Lightning at Sunrise” are my faves. Thanks! Reply Lisa Brunetti February 25, 2013 yes, i looked again, and rainbow of colors is my favorite! Reply Luke S February 27, 2013 Wowwee that lightning shot is so cool!

Patagonia has to be the most beautiful place in the world Reply Tina Schell February 23, 2013 Thanks Chantelle. It is an amazing place, made more special by its remoteness and how difficult it is to get there! Max February 25, 2013 The best sunrise pix ! Fantastic ! Ciao Reply Lisa Brunetti February 25, 2013 this post reflects how important sun and light are to an image. ‘here comes the sun’ is my pick of this litter, and a great litter it is! z Reply Joy Grassmick February 24, 2013 Wonderful challenge. Visit here: http://journeyingwithjoy.com/2013/02/24/lets-be-wild-weekly-photo-challenge-20-sunrise/ Reply Lisa Brunetti February 25, 2013 i noted the dramatic sunlight before noting the blue moon, which made it extra special. there’s something so wonderful about the sun rising when a full moon is setting.. or the moon rising and the sun setting. great image! Reply jody February 24, 2013 Embracing my sunrise potential…http://humantriumphant.wordpress.com/2013/02/24/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise/ Reply Katlin Eyre February 24, 2013 Love the colors in the Appalachian foothills photo! Reply jody February 26, 2013 thanks Katlin. (Wish I could take credit for creating it! haha) – another enjoyment I get from our mountainous area, watching the sun crest the ridges Lisa Brunetti February 25, 2013 that second one is a stunner! did that sunrise precede a change in weather\/ it’s amazing! Reply jody February 26, 2013 that was a late summer sunrise, Lisa, from this past year – and I can’t recall any changes, specifically. I just remember having my breath taken away & knowing I needed to get that pic! utham February 24, 2013 Here is my latest sunrise shot : http://uthamz.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/many-many-colors-of dawn-wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise/ Reply Lisa Brunetti February 25, 2013 welcome aboard! i’m glad you’ve joined us with this lovely sunrise! z Reply lagottocattleya February 24, 2013 I have patiently waited for a sunrise this grey, grey winter’s week – but no… And that has got nothing to do with me being a late sleeper when I’m off duty! Here’s my entry, anyway! http://wp.me/p1hCI2-22n Reply lagottocattleya February 25, 2013 Thank you very much for my honourable award last week! Reply Lisa Brunetti February 25, 2013 it’s gorgeous! the background is dreamy, perhaps a subtle reminder that sometimes it’s a good thing to rise and shine in time to catch those beautiful sunrise moments! Reply Cuidado February 24, 2013 I especially like that this topic brought back a really great time in my life, caring for an aunt before she died. I saw the most beautiful sunrises at this time. Three straight weeks of walking a Boston Terrier twice a day for two miles each time – Two Mile Lake, I called it. http://photosandpursuits.blogspot.ca/2013/02/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise.html Reply Jane Lurie February 24, 2013 Hi! A fantastic time of day to shoot. Here are some favorites: http://janeluriephotography.wordpress.com/2013/02/24/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise/ Reply Lisa Brunetti February 25, 2013 they are all nice, but i think ‘sunrise solitude’ appeals to me most. great photos! z Reply Jane Lurie February 27, 2013 Thank you, Lisa. That was a special moment on the beach. Barbara W. Beacham February 27, 2013 I love the solitude photo too! Excellent! Reply Jane Lurie February 27, 2013 Thank you, Barbara! Katlin Eyre February 24, 2013 Sunrises are awesome… check out some of my photos and let me know what you think! http://backcountrykatlin.blogspot.com/2013/02/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise.html Reply Lisa Brunetti February 25, 2013 i like number six most. it’s difficult to comment via blogger, for some frustrating reason! z Reply Citra Rahman February 25, 2013 Woah.. i’ve passed two challenges. This is my sunrise. Please take a look. http://hananan.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/sunrise/ Reply Lisa Brunetti February 25, 2013 http://playamart.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/sunrise-early-bird-rewards/ the rains continue to blot out the sunrises, though we have sunny skies in the daytime! here’s a classic story that illustrates why one should shove out of bed in time to catch the first rays of morning! z Reply Barbara W. Beacham February 27, 2013 Amazing photos yet again my dear! I had to do a double take on the shot of the crab because at first I did not realize that is what it was! What a beautiful shot and character! All the sunrise photos – fantastic! There has to be a winner in this bunch! My best – B Reply Mairead Kahn February 26, 2013 Here’s my entry! http://maireadkahn.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise/ Reply Milka Pejovic Photography February 26, 2013 I’m a little late coming in, but better late than never… I LOVE sunrises, they’re so inspiring. It’s a challenge to capture nice ones in Southern California but I’ve got a few pretty ones to share. http://milkapejovic.com/2013/02/26/lets-be-wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise/ Reply Shannon Hudnell February 26, 2013 Enjoy the colors! http://abstractlucidity.com/2013/02/26/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise/ Reply Barbara W.
