Dawn's Early Light

Riva, Maryland, resident David Sites hasn’t missed a day out on the water since December 30, 2022. No matter what the weather brings, the amateur photographer takes off in one of his two boats for a daily outing on the South River, often reaching the Chesapeake Bay. Photos captured on his iPhone have earned him thousands of Facebook and Instagram (@motoxdms) followers—along with a number of magazine covers. Every morning, Sites takes a shot of the river (above) from a deck off his bedroom. This sunrise scene on March 1, 2024, reminded him that spring was on the way. “It was a beautiful morning,” he recalls. “I feel blessed to wake up to this view every day.” Photo: David Sites
