Todd Klassy, "Morning Glory"
2014
This image is called "Morning Glory" and was taken by Todd Klassy for National Geographic. He felt as if everyone chose to photograph the world as the sun went down, so instead, he captured the peacefulness of the morning light as a new day was beginning. I chose this image because it reminded me of the area I grew up in. The simpleness of the idle road that seems to lead nowhere, the repetition of the telephone poles, and the boundless white terrain. The image showcases the beauty in contrast, combining the minimalist scenery with the bright pink and purple hues that came with the sunrise. The image gives me a deep sense of nostalgia. Reminding me of the days I would drive on identical roads to get to my cabin, reminding of the days I used to play in the snow with friends and family, and most importantly, reminding me of my home.
