I was working in the marshes on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and I had to be there early, really early. This particular day I arrived to the marsh 30 minutes before sunrise. I walked deep into the marsh to set up. The marsh is vastly underrated as a beautiful place due to inhospitable conditions and tough terrain. But that morning changed everything. As the sun rose the marsh was bathed in light and the birds started singing. It was an incredible sight and I took a quick photo before returning to my work.
