Mat-Su Valley Sunrise

[coldclimb]

I've been taking over the job of cleaning one of the fire stations early in the morning lately, so yesterday I was up well before the sun and got to watch the sky change colors as dawn approached. I waited till what I figured was the climax, then got up on the roof and shot a pano from the higher vantage point. :D This is from mid-valley between Palmer and Wasilla, looking up the Matanuska River toward Sutton, Alaska at about six in the morning. It's nice to see the sun rising in the east again and not the south! :D

Nice view!


Before and after of the clean-up?

Very nice. I like the way the layered clouds extend all the way across the pano. I might have been tempted to take another shot at it a few moments later to catch the sun star.

Cheers,
