Wall-to-wall clouds in the Raleigh area and no chance for a sunrise shot... so here's one from my archive, from April 13, 2008. An interesting spray of finely dappled clouds catching the sun's first direct rays made for a memorable sunrise event (better viewed large on black). Sweet!

Like gold dust.. so pure and glowing.. and dates back to 13 April.. that's my birthday. This is the most charming of it. =D Nellinka · 2009-05-03: 15:46
