New Year's Light

I figured what better way to start the new year, but with a sunrise picture.  I was out the other morning looking for shots and found this line of pines.  My goal was to get a shot of the string of trees with snow going up from the ground till about 3 feet up the tree.  Once I saw the big flaming sun through the viewfinder, though, I changed my angle and went for the sun poking through the trees.
