The Glory

This was a few years back, and I had forgotten about it until I was searching for something else. Not sure how this one didn't emerge sooner. Definitely one of the more amazing sunrises I have witnessed.

C&C always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Large version included,

Morris

That is some kind of intense! Certainly not your typical sunrise.

Wow Morris! That is one awesome sky. I can only remember seeing one sky like that in Upper MI many years ago now, but still remember it. Nature is amazing! :smile:

Wow, you gotta love that intense sky. This is a beauty, Morris. :toast: I could also see this working with a small crop of the dark blue sky in the URC.

That is some sunrise, however being that I'm up for sunrise most mornings, I would say we have awesome sunrises here.

Besides the outstanding color the dynamic interaction between the detail in the clouds and the trees pull me in.

Stunning color Morris! Gorgeous detail in the clouds. I especially like the splashes of yellow and blue.

The color and texture here is absolutely stunning. I'm glad you included the tree lined slope -- it helps ground the photo and give it some context. Wonderful shot.
