On the Bayou

Photograph by Keith Yahl , National Geographic Your Shot

I was up before sunrise on a chilly January morning in Monroe, Louisiana, writes Keith Yahl , who shared this picture with our Your Shot community. I hoped to capture the changing light over the nearby Black Bayou Lake. There was a serenity in the early morning scene. I continued to capture the sunrise from different angles as it changed the colors around me from orange to blue.
