Stunning sunrise on the Great Plains

My photo excursion on this day didn’t pan out quite as I wanted with worthwhile targets proving to be elusive. The one saving grace was the way the day started – with this amazing scene as the sun began to creep over the horizon.

The brilliant yellows, oranges and reds above would have been cool enough but throw in the same thing reflected on the calm waters of a lake and it was pretty awesome. Here in Colorado the mountains get most of the press but I have seen far more stunning sunrises and sunsets at the lower altitudes to the east.
