Angle of incidence = angle of reflectance

The muddy creek bed wasn't very photogenic, but the sunrise reflecting off the water sure was. This is by Hwy 95 in sSouthern Utah.

Sweet reflections and some great colors - glad you looked down and shot this.

Nice colors on the rocks as well as the reflected light in the water.

I love it when the river or creek reflects gold like that. I love doing that with the Merced River in Yosemite.

Good one Michael.

Thanks guys! The creek banks were deeply sunken from the road level and the reflections changed a lot going from the road down to the creek, where the lower angle missed all the color. This was shot about 2/3 of the way up the bank, on a very awkward to set up slope. A high effort shot for an old guy.
