"Fire in the Clouds" Sunrise - 1 February 2018 (Original Photo/Video)

in #photography7 years ago

I woke up this morning to see thick clouds on the horizon. It seemed that the clouds were going to hide the rising sun.

As I waited to see what would happen a break between the clouds glowed as if it was fire.

Photograph/video taken on 1 February 2018.

Fire in the Clouds

Blue sky above and dark clouds on the horizon, but in the clouds was glowing, growing amber of light.

It was as though the sun was burning through the clouds.

@etcmike si tu no nos aclaras que es un bello amanecer, pensaría que en la lava de un volcán bajando por la ladera de una montaña.

Definitivamente eres "el hombre detrás de la cámara "
Saludos.

You read my mind. When I first saw "the fire in the clouds" it reminded me of lava flowing down a mountain. I have never seen lava in person, but would love to do so. During one of my future trips to Hawaii, I would like to see the active volcano on the Big Island.

As I was watching the clouds, it did remind me of mountains in the distance. But the plains here are so flat, small hills only.

This morning my cat woke me up a little earlier than normal. When I peered out the back window the pre-dawn sky was magnificent. I can't wait to share the photos.

I am working on putting together a post on the bird counts I took two weeks ago. There will be a good number of pictures in that post.

I was think about your posts today. You really made my week. Thank you so much!!

Have a wonderful week!
Hugs,
Steem on,
Mike
