The Raleigh area saw overcast skies this morning in advance of an approaching cold front, so here's an appealing stand-in shot at sunrise proper taken just over a year ago (better large on black). Below (for truth-in-advertising purposes) is a shot of this morning's overcast skies (still better LOB). Sweet stand-in shot!
