Nova Scotia Sunrise

A sunrise may not seem to many to be an obvious selection to include in my Microcosm series, which focuses on highlighting the small parts of a whole, but I chose it because even though it is large and glorious it is still just a tiny portion of the sky as well as an illustration of a brief moment of time. I created the trees to be the way they are as an homage to the Group of Seven whose work has been a great inspiration.
