The Raleigh area saw only cloudy skies this morning, so the top image is a stand-in shot from the archive... from a year ago yesterday... featuring an unusual two-toned sky just before sunrise proper (better large on black). As long as we're dipping into the archive, above are shots from Sept 1st and 3rd of 2009 (both better LOB, 9/1 here and 9/3 here). A sweet look back!

I like the burning... full of life and autumn atmosphere. Nellinka · 2010-09-04: 12:15
