I photographed this scene this morning at Great Falls National Park. With portions of tropical storm Gustav heading northward into the area, it seemed like a slim chance for any color on this mainly overcast morning. However, I decided to take a shot at it anyways, and was rewarded with some beautiful pink glow on bottoms of the storm clouds. Often times I come up with various excuses to stay home instead of heading out against the odds, but I’m sure glad I went out this morning.

Love this one Chris. That pink sky is fantastic and I love the dark foreground too.
Wow,Chris! This is just gorgeous! How long was your exposure?

I’m glad you guys like it. It feels good to get a decent sunrise after months of haziness!
Paul – the exposure was around 10 seconds.
This is beautiful sweetie. I love the glow of orange right at the horizon and the beautiful pink clouds. Nice work.
Your efforts paid of nicely! Great image Chris.
Another big winner Chris! The sky is a perfect compliment to that beautiful smooth water. I’ll be in DC for the next couple days but will be too busy with work to visit this park…wish I could see it!
I like the subtlety beauty of this image. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks to everyone who commented. I’m really glad some people like it. I liked it right away, but sometimes the photographer likes an image a lot more than disconnected viewers do, so some verification feels nice!
