Our string on nice sunrises in the Raleigh area came to an end this morning as a cold front blanketed the area in wall-to-wall clouds. Here's a stand-in shot from my archive... from February 17, 2008, a subtle but bona fide flamer seen here as the red phase started to fade, just as the sun broke the horizon (and better large on black). Way sweet!

Wow! I love those clouds ????? · 2009-03-11: 10:02

I wonder whether you could capture the pre-dawn? When I'm back in Athens, the post-dusk is great time for captures (dawn? unlikely...) and I see you share the same appreciation for natural light tones revenant · 2009-03-11: 17:44
