I woke up before sunrise. From beyond the horizon, the sun was illuminating the clouds in the sky. The sky was brilliant for about 10 minutes. It was then cloudy for the rest of the day.

This was taken not long after the previous one, but I used Adobe Lightroom to try and convey the winter cold feeling during sunrise.

Both are beautiful Carl.

Excellent, Carl. Both are nice, but I like the dramatic sweep of red cloud in the first one.

That first shot is a beauty Carl, great work!

Well done! The first one is my fave. Very dramatic!

Yep, the first gets my vote too. Both, nice shots.
