I love sunsets and how the sun tries to burn up the sky as it goes past the horizon at the end of the day. But there’s something very special about sunrises too, where the sun manages to light up the sky for several minutes before you can actually see it. That’s when the sky can suddenly feature some amazing colors. The best sunrises (and sunsets) usually display some type of clouds, which deflect the sunlight in many directions and shades of color.
I took the sunrise photo below on a winter morning almost a year ago. As soon as I looked at the sky, I knew it’d be one of these special sunrises and I hoped my camera batteries weren’t dead because I wouldn’t have time to grab spares. There’s something about the winter light that can makes for great sunrises. This sunrise makes it look like the clouds are on fire. I tried to take pictures of the clouds once they passed the trees, but by then the light had already changed. Better luck next time!

That’s a great photo. Those ‘fire’ clouds would be great in an apocalyptic movie. 🙂
Thanks! I bet you could use it for the cover of your next book, in which you try to kill the other half of the world.
There you go. A nice little acid rain or something.
Clouds on fire? A side effect of global warming.
You are so talented, Milka! I love your photos. 🙂
Thanks, Vivian, I’m glad you enjoy them. I just took some more yesterday but I haven’t opened them on the computer yet. I hope they look as good as what I saw, because it was quite an amazing sight.
I love your work, Milka…you have a gift. 🙂
Thanks, Vivian, I appreciate the compliment! If you like these, you MUST see my rain drop photos from today (and later this week). It was a real stroke of luck to spot them.
