Everybody's Favorite

As I tell anyone that will listen, peak color for sunrise — on the best days — is often 30 to 45 minutes before sunrise.  Hence the reason I show up 60 minutes before sunrise.  (Just another of the many reasons I hate summer.) But today, it was everybody's favorite kind of sunrise.  The best colors happened right at sunrise.  Enjoy.
