When going to take a sunrise pic at a lake. Waiting for the sun.. nothing it was cloudy. After the sun has rise much only I realized that I was standing on the east and the sun rose behind me. Have to walk 1 mile to other side of the lake to take the pic. By that time the colours in the sky gone T_T.
