Quite the colorful sky the morning of October 25, 2013
[Power lines and poles and trees are dark stripes in the sea of pink behind them. Above them is a mixture of lue and pink-purple clouds.]

Sunrise view from the front yard that same morning (Love the kite-tail whisps in this image.)
[Above a dark semi-circle of rooftops are horizontal lines of yellow-orange clouds. Above those are pink-purple puffy ones. Several of these have whispy dark masses seeming to come from the bottom as if they are rain which is not coming to the ground.]

Definite color change in the clouds the closer they are to the horizon
[Above the dark rooftops are yellow-orange clouds on the right(closest to the sun) and orange-pink-purple clouds to the left.]

Zoomed out view from the front yard
[View from a distance showing less of the rooftops and more of the sky. Clouds are mostly pink with a hint of yellow at the horizon.]

December 4, 2013
[At the juncture of the dark buildings at the bottom is a very yellow section of sky. Just above it is a pink-red section which contrasts with the blue sky above.]

The same scene just a few minutes later
[The yellow and red sections merged to become orange and blend into the blue above. This is two images stitched together and are a closer view of the horizon.]

January 8, 2014 (I liked the reflection in the house window.)
[A swath of yellow dashes across the sky close to the horizon with swathes of pink on either side of it. Rising into the sky are swatches of peachy-pink and purple. The peach color is reflected on a house window in the foreground.]

Continue to more sunrises. (page 3 of 6)
