It took a while, but the Raleigh area sunrise did finally produce some direct rays from the sun, seen here some 40 minutes after sunrise proper (and better large on black). Again, certainly worth the wait!

I love the peacefulness found in this shot. The day breaking through gently. A beautiful day in perspective> CatsEyes · 2009-08-12: 20:32
