Firestorm Dawn

As I approached the point on my daily commute to either stay on

highway or take the "back way" I watched the sky and felt it might be

a great sunrise. I chose to go the "back way". I got here early enough

to set up without hurry. The sky started out blue and then lit up like

fire. I had about 5min of this incredible light. Out of all the shots

I took, this had the most interesting sky. Thank you for viewing and

commenting.

Splendid moment caught,is a delight for the eyes,regards.

Stunning light ! Well worth getting up early !

Beautiful.

Warm regards,

It's great to have a "back way" commute. Gives driving to work a more significant meaning. I used to work at a golf course in Colorado up in the mountains and I always looked forward to going in, especially since there was zero traffic. Looks like you have minimal traffic as well, or at least none on the back way. This is one amazing sky!! Great processing to avoid blowing a channel. For me, the only minor observation would be the limited space along the bottom of the frame. I can easily see this being a bit of a frenzy to settle on a composition while the sky is exploding. Congrats on being there. I bet you were in a good mood by the time you arrived at work!!

Thanks Mark,

The immediate FG is just the bank on the left and tule grass on right and if I would have included more of that the balance would be off and it was not all that pretty.

I almost passed this shot up as the "back way" has much rougher roads and they just got done re-paving the highway which is nice and smooth now and I was feeling a little lazy. Glad I wasn't too lazy.

Increible light!

great image. I love the color reflection and the feeling of depth.
