happy.gif Thanks Chris! It is a great mountain to wake up to. You are very lucky about how you can get your awesome shots. I have to bundle up and venture out into the cold to get the shots I get, no tripod either. I have to take my shot in between the cold trembles. wacko.gif The things we do for love, and I love picture taking. biggrin.gif

I did manage to get a few good sunrise pictures, but I haven't had a chance to crop and tag them yet. I try never to doctor my photos either, just crop and tag with the good old Coloradoprospector.com. groucho.gif I will try to post pictures later when my head catches up with my hands. giggle.gif

Nice shots Denise,

Every time I look at your and Chris’s pictures I see lots of green. Yep, Green! Green skies, green mountains, green valleys, or maybe it is just me looking through "envoy" colored glasses?

Thanks for the pics, woody.

(Grabs Woody's "envy" colored glasses and puts them on) cool.gif
This is exactly how I see your weekend outings! I wish we could walk out the door for a short hike and loose track of time (8 hours) like that. biggrin.gif

Here is a really cool sunrise picture from yesterday. The clouds were so thick that you could see the sun through them. I love how the upper cloud was flashing rainbow colors. happy.gif

They call these Nacreous Clouds that have the cool rainbow colors.

Quote from atoptics.co.uk
QUOTE
Nacreous clouds, sometimes called mother-of-pearl clouds, are rare but once seen are never forgotten. They are mostly visible within two hours after sunset or before dawn when they blaze unbelievably bright with vivid and slowly shifting iridescent colours. They are filmy sheets slowly curling and uncurling, stretching and contracting in the semi-dark sky. Compared with dark scudding low altitude clouds that might be present, nacreous clouds stand majestically in almost the same place - an indicator of their great height.

They need the very frigid regions of the lower stratosphere some 15 - 25 km (9 -16 mile) high and well above tropospheric clouds. They are so bright after sunset and before dawn because at those heights they are still sunlit.

They are seen mostly during winter at high latitudes like Scandinavia, Iceland, Alaska and Northern Canada. Sometimes, however, they occur as far south as England. They can be less rare downwind of mountain ranges. Elsewhere their appearance is often associated with severe tropospheric winds and storms.

Nacreous clouds far outshine and have much more vivid colours than ordinary iridescent clouds which are very much poor relations and seen frequently all over the world.

Great pics again Denise!
I've always referred to that phenomenon as a "Sun Dog" or "Sun Dog Rainbow" and was told at an early age that they are a sign of good luck!

If you have your photos on your computer and are interested, I could walk you through how to add photos to the forum and e-mails Russ. Just shoot me an e-mail if you want and I can help. happy088.gif I have taught many old dogs new tricks. giggle.gif biggrin.gif poke.gif

Make sure you leave the door wide open just in case opportunity comes again, that way it can just walk right in.

Denise,
I think that is your most stunning sunrise yet! A real beauty. happy088.gif

Russ.... it's high time you start sharing pics!!!!!!!!! You should most definitely take Denise up on her kind offer to help. It is far easier than you would think.
DO IT. char098.gif What are you afraid of?

I captured this unusual sunrise from the back yard about 15 minutes ago.
It's a chunk of rainbow mixed in with the sunrise looking at Byers Peak to the west.
