Oh you wonderful girl you!!! This is spectacular indeed!!!! I love the branches draped over the sunrise and that misty feel about early morning light! Wonderful!

Ah oui !!! ça change de la neige... en tout cas, on ne la voit pas ici... ça réchauffe, ces couleurs....j'aime bien la forme des nuages... par bandes symétiques, étirées...

This is beautiful, Lorraine, and such a warm-looking shot in spite of what the temperature was.
It's below freezing here this morning; we might as well be in Canada! :D
5 Feb 2009 11:47am

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
How lovely to be up early enough to see such a sight and feel unrushed enough to photograph it.
5 Feb 2009 1:04pm
@Michael Skorulski: Enough coffee in me to look through the window ;) lol thanks a lot Michael!

tyan from Singapore, Singapore
what a spectacular sunrise!The lovely clouds,orange hues...wow,hope it was little warmer!:) just the right image for me now,thanks so much for your encouragement yesterday..I was quite badly affected by that instructor,couldnt sleep at night,thinking why he scolded me when the car was apparently going smoothly,i even had a nightmare of him,not joking.sigh,i wonder when i can have enough confidence to ever go on the real road !:) I'll think of you and your warm words the next time i drive,then i wont be so afraid:)
5 Feb 2009 1:48pm
@tyan: I'm praying it's going to get warmer and I have the certainty that it will, one day! lol hun, if you knew the times, I drove on the wrong side or did something really stupid you'd laugh your heart out...all I'm saying is no one who has ever learned how to drive was automatically comfortable, everyone has to go through those first months of being a total novice. Some are even too scared to learn, so you're way ahead, and you're young too, so no fears. My mom learned how to drive when she was in her early forties because she became a real estate agent....talk about pressure lol You'll do fine, no worries
Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
That's absolutely stunning, Rainy. Even I might get out of bed for such a sight (but we can't see our sunrises and sunsets, here).
5 Feb 2009 2:00pm
@Bookfool: I'm awake before the sunrises Booky but then again I'm asleep before the sun sets, lol thanks so much ;)
@António Pires: Oh, how I wish Antonio, thanks very much :)

Pixim from Nice, France
Tu fais honneur à ce moment magique de la journée quand cette source de vie apparait dans toute sa force. Une très belle composition qui nous permet de nous relativiser et d'admettre l'importance de ces instants journaliers mais au combien magique Bravo ;)
