Incredible Sunrise !

On this first sunrise of the autumnal equinox, the sunrise was one of the most spectacular that I've seen here in New Mexico!  Take a look - 

At first, I thought the stormy clouds looked interesting as the sun first began to rise......

As the sun rose more, there was a promise of something more spectacular than usual..... 



I love the contrast of cool mist on the mountain top and fiery clouds.  Adding Jazz, our neighbor's horse, to this calm morning scene makes it just about perfect...

 



I backed out for this shot to capture the enormity of what this very different sunrise looked like, sun against the rolling clouds.....

Here's the last shot, with what I think look like fiery fingers reaching toward the sunrise.  I was truly amazed at this sunrise!

 

Enjoy!
