Peak Orange

[AlanLichty]

From a colorful sunrise a week ago when the deep reds were gone and orange ruled the skies. Mt. St. Helens is barely in the scene on the far left with Mt. Adams a bit to the right of St. Helens and Mt. Hood over on the right. Two panels at 24mm.

C&C always welcome.

This is really awesome Alan! Love when the clouds are like that and the color is peppered across the sky.

Thanks Jim - this is less than 5 minutes after the peak reds and less than 5 minutes later the color show was over and done.

Nice. Interesting comparison between the intense reds and the oranges as well the greys where the color have gone.

Thanks Jameel - I was a bit surprised at how quickly the whole sky took on the colors, ran through the usual hues, and was completely done in less than 15 minutes. I landed with over 50% still left on the battery.

Thanks - we typically get 2 or 3 sunrises like this each year during the winter months so I have learned to keep an eye out for the cloud positions that might give me another one.
