Attitude

Posted by
Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 10 May 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Just thought I should post something with a little colour. This is a sunrise shot from a couple years ago. Some mornings the sun, clouds and humidity all come together to create a perfect harmony of colour. Other times it is just loud and strong. This morning was the latter. The colour was so intense. The clouds were almost ominous looking. Strange things happen when the sun shines under the cloud layer as it is rising or setting. Within minutes of this shot everything was as good as normal again. The day progressed as it usually does. The sun was obscured by cloud cover. It was a dull cloudy morning.
Only a few lucky soles were witness to this display of power of Mother Nature.
