California Sunrise: Colors

As it turned out, this was one of the best, although infrequent at that time, sunrises Gerry had ever seen. (Since then, we've seen quite a few sunrises, mostly in the rearview on the way to work.) The colors were amazing, and the distances he could see from even a minor hill were incredible. The Sierras were visible, about fifty miles or more to the east. And the colors... This is one sample, probably the best, and it really didn't do justice to what the sky looked like as the sun rose.
