My wife and I spent the night at a kibbutz on the Sea of Galilee, near locations which were the very heart and soul of Jesus' ministry. I awoke early to capture the effect of sunrise on these holy waters. But I wanted Sunrise, Sea of Galilee to celebrate the grace of the fishing boats that work these waters today, as they did when Jesus choose fishermen as His first disciples. I shifted my position imaginatively, so that I could include both the handsome fishing boat and the distant hills painted gold by the glory of morning sun.
