After the surprise afternoon snow in the Raleigh area yesterday, this morning dawned without a cloud in the sky, giving us a great look at early twilight's unique spectrum, above (and better large on black). Below is the view at sunrise proper (also better LOB), and the post-rise view is at the bottom (again, better LOB). Sweet!
