The story behind my theme image

While on a business trip to south Florida in November 2007, I captured this sunrise. I was up and at the beach very early in the morning and this was my second or third morning at the beach. I put my 'mini' table top tripod in the sand and composed the image. It wasn't until I was processing the image and I stood back from the monitor that I realized there is a crown with rays coming out of the clouds.

Immediately the scripture verse "crowned with glory" came to mind. There are two scripture verses that include "crowned with glory":

Psalms 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Have fun shooting! Capture the beauty of God's creation.

Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
