One Autumn Morn

  • Photographer
    Dan Scott

On a solo roadtrip through Vermont, I set out to capture the unmistakable beauty of the autumn season. In preparation for a sunrise shoot of an unfamiliar location, I scouted the site the evening before. The morning arrived, and I found myself alone in the darkness, still unsure of what the day would bring. My goal was to embrace the moment and showcase nature at its best—with vivid fall colors, morning mist, and a sense of unwavering tranquility. As the first light broke, it revealed everything I had hoped for. This is "One Autumn Morn."
