Lacking motivation to go far for photos one day last week, I made a last minute decision to stick close to home. That turned out to be a good thing as I was able to capture a gorgeous sunrise just a few miles from home. At the lower elevations of Colorado, stunning sunrises and sunsets are more common than not and it is easy to take them for granted.
