For the first time in the past 24 mornings, the Raleigh area didn't see the sun at sunrise! In the time I've been pursuing daily sunrise photos, that may be a record string. So... here are a couple of archived stand-in shots from a year ago today, the wide post-rise view in the top image (better large on black, and a closeup just after sunrise proper, above (also better LOB). Sweet stand-ins!
