Description
After making such a splash with my debut feature on here, it really wasn't easy deciding on a follow-up. I decided to thank the Renderosity Seven for their warm welcome and high praise of the "Gift" image with this most intensely colorful sunrise view in a 14-minute sequence on 11/8/08 between 632 and 646. The cloud-covered sky, starting with Mrs. Sun still not risen above the treeline, evolved from delicate pastel colors in the 1st shot to this steel-forge flareup 9 minutes later before fading again to a more peaceful pastiche of orange/grey/pink and blue. Unlike how some others do, this ain't no Shop de Photo trickery or any other image manipulation; I simply had my lamented Fuji E550 [killed in a freak accident 2 months ago] set at Normal, held it steady & clicked away. With the huge expanse of sky under which I live, I wish I could've captured a panorama of it that day; the distance this Awesome Display covered was phenomenal. I'd love to know just what are the seasonal atmospheric changes by which these shows occur here only in the fall and winter - sure and the sunrise/sunset skies in spring and summer are very pretty also, but they don't put on the Ritz like this! Makes being a fall-born baby juat a bit extra special.

Gorgeous!!! Great effort!

There is nothing quite like the spectacle of a sunrise. The air tends to be cooler in the morning and so there can be more ice crystals in the upper air than say in the evening. This creates far more vibrant colours, especially in the red end of the spectrum.

Thanks Mr. Smiley Eye, jmb and particularly K.F. for both the atmospheric insight and that hilarious avatar. While your explanation tells the tale about why the colors in the sky hereabouts are far more brilliant - although the sunsets ain't no slouch in that department either - it's still a mystery as to why this past fall/winter there was significantly less vibrancy. Somehow Lady O'Nature's powers had strangely waned - I was used to getting up, seeing a bright glow coming from the front room and thinking I'd left a light on, only to find myself fooled by a fantastical sunrise and nearly snapping a legbone in my sudden haste to get pictures of it. Maybe it's just cosmic hiccup, certainly an immensely tiny span of time in the celestial grand scheme of things, and come this September the light show will be on again in full.

It's certainly looks magical - whichever time of day... "The sky's burning, my soul is on fire" in the words of 'Bad Company', in my opinion - that describes these regular or irregular occurrences. stunning result, BB
