Morning in the Woods
Babcock, WI, 11/26/2006

When I was out hunting opening weekend, I noticed to my East the absolutely beautiful sunrise. I also heard the sounds of birds and other creatures as the world woke up. It was a beautiful combination to see and hear different aspects of the woods wake up at different times. With video, I took pictures from the very beginning of the morning, when the sky was still nearly black to the time when the sun had risen above the treeline. With the audio, I tried to show the order of how the world woke up with the sun. I mixed the sounds of two different birds, to illustrate how one comes out earlier in the morning and the next waits just a bit longer to make its presence known to the world.
