Dense clouds and light rain in the Raleigh area this Monday morning, so here are a couple archived stand-in shots from May 15, 2009. There were some nice neon nuances that morning, just before sunrise proper, in the top image (and better large on black)... and a much more brazen post-rise look a few minutes later, above (also better LOB). Sweet!

I just love the second. Excellent. ????? · 2010-05-17: 08:16
