Another Sunrise Sequence


This is about a third of the pictures I took yesterday morning. I tried to edit ruthlessly but there were so many subtle differences moment to moment . . .

the pinpricks of light in the dark valley . . .


the rose glow spreading across the sky . . .


and the drama
 as the heavy clouds overhead are illuminated.


That fades quickly . . .


and the mists begin to rise . . .


and the clouds become a pastel parfait--
layer on layer of soft color.


Then the gold appears, heralding the main event . . .


imagine the trumpets blaring, 
cymbals crashing  . . .


 maybe angels shouting . . .


just for a brief moment, then the clouds hide the sun . . .


and all is serene once more.

You are in a wonderful spot.

And all that first thing in the day! Amazing. I'm glad when the clouds lift usually (or fog, it's like living in clouds) or maybe I see a peak of blue sometimes. Dawn isn't exciting here...I don't have an east facing window. Loved the commentary to go with your dawn.

We saw the same sight. I was amazed at how much it changed from minute to minute. Was in the car and didn't take any pictures, Yours are beautiful and really captured the glorious event.

If I lived in your house, I would never get anything done. I'd be looking out at that view all the time!

Such nice moments to catch.
