The very few clouds in the Raleigh area sky this morning picked up some nice color, seen in the top image just before sunrise proper (and better large on black). Ten minutes later, above (again, better LOB), the sun slipped behind a building, reducing the glare and facilitating the view of the color transition. Sweet!
