@Marie: Thanks, Marie!... I really appreciate your visit and nice comment! Funny thing... it was in the mid 30s this morning in the Raleigh area... unseasonably cool. I was all bundled up, though... cup of coffee in hand. Thanks, again, and have a great weekend!

@Linerberry: WOW (I figures one more wouldn't hurt)... thanks very much for the very nice comment, Liners... you sure know how to swell a fella's head! Now, I have a little confession (good for the soul, they say): I performed a ball-field-light-structures-ectomy on this shot... a little CS2 surgery, for the sake of, well, everyone's viewing pleasure. I rarely perpetrate such false advertising, but this pic just called out for it. Here's the un-altered original... http://www.flickr.com/photos/spod-tad/3452672118/sizes/l/
Hope you have a nice Sunday (while I enjoy my Saturday... that's still just so weird).

DarkElf from Perth, Australia

this is brilliant! perfect moment as the sun just peeks from behind the trees and the orange tone over the sky is amazing indeed!

@DarkElf: Hi, DE.. thanks for the very nice comment... so glad you enjoyed the shot! I never tire from seeing those amazing colors... good thing, too, given how often the sunrise is a cloud-free phenom in the Raleigh area. Thanks again for your visit & comment... it's always nice to hear from you!

Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand

I think I can forgive you for your 'ectomy' so to speak!! Its still a magnificent shot!!!
Hope you enjoyed your Sunday sunrise as I now say here comes Monday...it is spooky isn't it!!!

@Linerberry: I certainly did enjoy my Sunday sunrise... the clouds started to build late yesterday, and they stuck around to help make sunrise a real beauty... a study in the pink-to-blue range. Hope you get the chance to take a look.

Yes, "spooky"... that's a good way to describe the whole International Dateline concept, Liners. Have you crossed it before, going east... and gone back a day? That has to be very spooky... but fun, too!
