    Love these images, even if sun rise is nothing for me, it happens too early... :)

    What a rich blend of color & light that scene makes!
    Love the golden sun contrasting the dark cloudy sky.
    Your landscape is beautiful, I particularly love the tree on the left in the lower photo. It's a great tree!

    This happens often when the sun lights our western mountains. Your sky looks formidable. I hope you got some rain.

    Wow, your photos look fantastic. I have to tilt my screen towards me because I am multitasking. The photos look like that time after a storm and the sun is shining. Tsup!

    Great combination of sky, land and low light.

    But it does look very dry.
