How do you pass up an opportunity to take a picture?
I pulled into a lakeshore park to snap this picture from the saddle with my iPhone using the Camera+ app.
I took a bunch of shots, varying the exposure because I couldn't tell if I managed to capture what my eyes were seeing so plainly.
I don't know about you, but sunbeams evoke heaven. I'm not religious at all, so I think it's just a cliché that's been reinforced over time by countless cheesy images.
I don't think there are any serious artists living who waste time on sunbeams, are there?
Or photographers for that matter? Well, maybe photographers.
And yet they are definitely worth stopping for. A gift from nature, really.
So there you are, a glimpse of heaven.

One of the many unexpected gifts I've received from riding is the sky. I am aware of it constantly when I ride. It is the roof over my head. It is everywhere.
Thanks for the sunbeams. I take them whether they are "cheesy" or not.

Nothing cheesy about sun rays. They make for the best natural effect in photos, even without photo-shopping.
I too like to see the sunbeams. Some people get the 'ahhhh' moment and maybe some don't. I just think of it as the majesty of nature. Very nice photo.
I love sunbeams, because it means its NOT raining. Great picture David. I have a fascination with the sky since I started riding, it seems I never ever paid attention to it when I was driving a car, I think that is in part because you are protected from the sky and elements. On the bike however you are acutely aware of everything.
It is simply stunning and I would have stopped too.
