A cloud-free morning in the Raleigh area provided the nice look at the well-filtered just-risen sun in the top image (better large on black). But the slashing cloud shadow seen during mid-twilight, above(and also better LOB), indicates there were clouds out there somewhere beyond the horizon. Sweet!
