Morning Reflection

Yesterday's long travel day left no time for photography (plus the terrain through which we traveled was uninspiring), so I was determined to get up the morning we spent in Bend, OR. I was on my bike by 7:00 a.m. It was much colder than I was used to, below 55ºF, but I rode up the Deschutes River Trail anyway.

This view across the river was right at the start of my ride, when my hands were still working. I was on the trail for more than an hour, but found no better subject. I was intrigued by the sunrise cliff colors reflected in river. I took quite a few photos that included the cliffs as well, but liked this slightly abstract version better.
