Vineyard Sunrise

I spent the night sleeping in my truck (rest stop) just north of Santa Barbara. My plan was to photograph the sunrise...wherever..it took me. I woke up at 5am with 30 minutes or so to spare. Off 101 highway was Palmer road...into a vineyard of acres and acres on each side of the road. As I rounded up the top and made my way to a valley...of fog, sunshine and vines below me. I stopped on the turnout, camera in hand...and a photograph of memories.
