Frosty morning sunrise

I took this out the train window this morning near Nenana. I know it's not in focus completely, but I did the best I could with the low light and moving train. The color is what appealed to me, and the beautiful bleakness of the landscape.

I try to do photos out of trains, too. It's a challenge! Every once in awhile, you can get a good one.

is keeping the glare and reflections out of the photos. Our train had two rows of bright tube lights down the center, plus the low angle of the sun caused some issues. I've got a little of the glare on the right-hand side of this photo but it's barely noticeable.

and the color would have gotten my attention too, as that's what I usually chase.

I love the frost it's so temporary and unusual the way it highlights every single twig/blade of grass.

You had two challenges there, the train situation and the sun, good job!
