Photo taken at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge on Sept. 29 2007. As the family was getting ready to go to breakfast we had the sliding glass door curtains open. At 7 a.m. we noticed fog on the ground. The sun began to peek up over the cloud cover at about 8 a.m. The Giraffes and the Kudus were out when I saw the absolutely GORGEOUS rays of light streaming in through the trees and clouds.

I picked up my camera and starting snapping away from the balcony. This was taken at 8:05 a.m.

There was really was no time for me to run around the lodge looking for a better vantage point to avoid getting the fence in the shot. We left the room at 8:07 and I noticed by 8:10 the rays of light were gone.

I can never be too sure what this will look like on other people's monitor's so hopefully the calibration is such on other monitor's that it shows the wonderful morning light rays streaming in.

Awesome light. Looks perfect on my monitor. Too bad it didn't last just a bit longer.

Magnificent lighting. Glad you gave us more info on timing, it really brings things into focus, so to speak.

The streams of light and the trees make for quite a dreamlike moment. Too bad the fence is there - kind of brings you back to reality.

This is the sort of light that makes you glad a new day has begun.

Fence???? Oh yeah, I see it now! LOL!!! This is just so peaceful and serene that the fence just doesn't hurt it much. It would for a challenge, but this is just for fun.
