Hi Doug,
Thanks for the beautiful images.
Sunrises, viewed from the ground, normally never seem quite as dramatic as sun sets,
but this one is a fabulous exception. Beautiful!
I say from the ground because now and then if you are sitting on the easterly
facing side of a plane after a long overnight flight, the sunrises often appear
quite dramatic as I surmise they are having to cut through all that atmosphere and cloud.
With fire hazard reduction burns taking place this time of year, perhaps there was
a little residual smoke haze to the east of you that may have helped with the colours?
Thanks again.
