This Morning's Downtown Truckee Sunrise
Well, today has been a great day so far. The sunrise was incredible! I was about to attend a BNI business networking meeting in Downtown Truckee, so I did not get any new landscape photos with the sunrise. However, I did get this nice shot outside of the meeting, with my friend Martin of MVB Coaching checking it out on his way into the meeting.
After the meeting, I headed home but I had to pull over real quick at Donner Lake. The morning fog was looking very peaceful and photogenic, so I did get a nice new landscape photo of that scene. Shot with the Canon 5DS R, that one will be available on my website soon.
Oh, and I also received this gift in my mailbox. A book written by a childhood friend! Actually, our moms were best friends when they were young and our families occasionally got together when I was young. Some of you may recognize the name of the author, Erik Kramer. He was a football quarterback who played for the Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears and San Diego Chargers in the late 1980s and 1990s.
Personally signed by Erik! My personal life has not been perfect lately, so I am really looking forward to reading this. Supposedly, it's a great motivational book. It's available on Amazon here - The Ultimate Comeback
Thank you for looking, and I hope you are all having a great day too!

not a .gif I've ever used before lol
Solid shot of the lake 👍 great sunrise. Hope the book is a good read
Haha! Yeah, I guess I'm kind of a dork, like Spongebob...
Thanks, and I hope to read it soon!
Whoaaa,the sunrise is a paid actor in your first picture and that picture looks like a painting
It’s really beautiful.
I hope your business meeting went great.
I wish I could pay the sunrise to act like that when I wanted it to... Glad you like seeing that. And yes, the business meeting went great!
When we get failed and discouraged, it is wise to look towards motivational stories and words which stir us from our hesitancy. I hope that book proves good for you.
Snowy and fogy weather at riverside are always photogenic. I am also one who used to click pics . This is an emblem of being aesthetic
Indeed! Looking forward to the book. And yes, I'm lucky to be able to view foggy scenes at the lake on a regular basis. Very photogenic!
I love the color of the sky at sunrise.
The morning fog on Donner Lake is spectacular.
Your childhood friend is a famous person.
He signed a book for you, and I'm so envious of your excitement.
It all made for a great day! I've been reading the book, just finished chapter 5. It is a good one, indeed!
The colours of the sun is just like a painting of colours, so cute. That book would surely be a worthy read.
So far, the book has been a worthy read, indeed! And yes, the sky was incredible, but it also gave everything a warm color that was like a painting. A beautiful morning.
Damn!!!
That first picture is lit!!!
You’re such a magician when it comes to taking pictures
You always give it a Midas touch
Haha! I'm often lucky to be in the right place at the right time too... Glad you like it!
You did capture a wonderful sunrise photo. this book may have recalled all the childhood memories you have with this person in your mind.
The book did indeed. I've been reading it and I know a lot of people he mentioned. Glad you like that photo!
The Sun in these beautiful hues is more than enough inspiration that beautiful things can be found around us.
The book would also inspire, written by someone who has been 'here and there'.
Lots of beauty and inspiration yesterday, indeed!
When you read a book by an old childhood friend it's always a pleasure!!! For your photo of the morning mist is really pretty, it could remind you of Lake Loch Ness where the Loch Ness Monster hides in Scotland. In Scotland fog is part of the permanent landscape
Ha! Yeah, we are lucky that the fog usually burns off fairly quickly around here. Snow is a different story. A big storm is about to roll in and it will probably stay for a few days...
Lovely sunset and composition couldn't be any more perfect 💯👏❤️
Thank you @androliuben! Glad you liked that one.
Your picture taking skills are top notch. I love the pictures
All these views and all these things are looking very beautiful and whenever the sun shines like this after a long winter, our body is energized.
It was another great day in Truckee!
This is an amazing shot and it never disappoint
Such Sunrises, beautiful lakes covered with snowy peaks us secret of your daily energy. Just like always clicks are amazing And buying the book of one of your childhood friend's motivational book shows how supportive you are.
