End of 2010 Sunrise

Freezing but what a sight. Icon(s) alert... :rolleyes: The intense flash of color sure didn't last very long, but what was really amazing was to watch the dawning light form the mountain and city ever so slowly and softly until the instant of this image.

D 700, 24-70 at 70, handheld (correction! tripod!); f 13, 1/10, ISO 320.

Thanks for looking.

What a view, and what a sunrise! My future home... sure is a lot nicer than LA! My only nit is I wish the lights were on.. but I guess it has to be a sunset for that, and not a holiday.

A view of my 2nd favorite city Catherine (sorry NYC is 1st)! Fantastic sky and just enough detail in the shadows for me. Beautiful capture.

I have visited Seattle many times and I was always impressed with the "in you face" presence of Mt Rainer. I have actually been to Seattle more times than Nova Scotia.

Excellent shot of my hometown, Catherine. I do miss the skyline of Seattle at times...

Love the blazing colors of the sky Katherine, and the way they stream diagonally through the frame..Great cityscape skyline too.
Well done :toast:

Great conditions to see the Seattle skyline. Rainier looks like such a cool backdrop to it.

This is really beautiful! I would also like to see the light on. You night consider taking another dusk shot with all the light on and combining the two :wavey:
