At least a few clouds are a given with summer's high humidity, and this morning's Raleigh area sky had those few much to the benefit of the sunrise show... seen in the top image at sunrise proper (better large on black), in #2 during early twilight with its classic purple haze layer (LOB) and in the post-rise view in #3, above (LOB). Wouldn't you agree? - sweet!
