      It was actually dawn. I was just using my phone lol. I did use the “HDR” setting, but I’m not a photographer by any means. I had just gone for a hike that morning and saw the stark contrast between what was going to be a dreary and cloudy day vs the glow of the sun on the horizon and thought it might make an interesting picture. It was darkened a tad to emphasize the dark/light contrast. It was taken at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis, Indiana. Thanks!
