Thanks! I was standing on the west side of Boardman Lake, Traverse City, Michigan. It was 7:00 am on 09/10/2025. It was captured with my iPhone 16 Pro Max.
It was pure chance that I saw the kayaker. I was on my way to a client, and wanted to catch a quick shot of the sunrise.
It was taken at 7:00 am this morning.
