Mother Road Sunrise

from $40.00

Every journey begins with a single moment. This is it: the very first sunrise of a two-thousand-mile pilgrimage down the Mother Road. Captured from high above Chicago, this photograph looks out over the city's iconic skyline as it catches the first golden, hazy light from Lake Michigan.

This is the official starting point of the most famous highway in the world, seen in a moment of quiet contemplation. The soft light portends the start of a great adventure and the long road west. It is a serene, atmospheric portrait of where the journey begins.

A signature piece from the "Route 66: The Mother Road" collection, this print is a must-have for any enthusiast who wants to tell the complete story of the highway, from its urban beginnings to its desert ruins.

Print & Medium

This photograph is all about the soft, painterly quality of the morning light and the hazy, atmospheric glow over the city. A glossy or luster paper would introduce reflections that distract from the serene mood.

Therefore, my premium paper choice is the Breathing Color Elegance Velvet Watercolor. Its subtle, textured surface is perfect for this type of atmospheric cityscape, as it renders deep, rich tones and soft color gradations with a true fine-art feel. It will beautifully capture the contemplative, quiet mood of the new day.

"Mother Road Sunrise" is available in sizes up to 24x36 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
