Sunrise Inspirations

It is the unvarnished truth that all of Mark Potter’s bright and colorful sunrise photographs began from tragedy and grief, and were taken in memory of his wife who died from cancer. But as miracles sometimes have it, the images turned out to be the exact opposite of the way they began. They are upbeat and exciting, but also comforting and calming while capturing the natural world of Florida as it awakens to each new day with not only sunrises, but also seascapes, wildlife, marine life, flora, and fauna.

Mark Potter is a retired SBC, CNN, and NBC National Correspondent. He has devoted his retirement to photographically journaling Florida’s sunrises, wildlife, and nature. He currently lives in Coral gables, Florida.
