Oh, Why Not?

I shoot at least a dozen of these every morning.  I never publish them — I don't get up before dawn and go outside when it's freezing to photograph city lights.  But every morning before the sky lightens, I set up my camera and make sure all the settings are right by taking a a few shots of Gurley. 

This was as good as it got today (besides the obligatory red-rubber-ball rising shot) so I thought "Why not?".   Besides, it  will document how the lights spread as the suburbs of Huntsville expand. 

The morning commute to Huntsville begins at Gurley, Alabama — from the overlook at Monte Sano State Park.
