The last sunrise of 2013 proved to be an absolutely gorgeous one.  This image was taken at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge just before the sun peeked over the horizon.

Brilliant orange clouds at sunrise painted a beautiful scene on Christmas Eve.

The area I work is normally not particularly photogenic but on this morning it worked out well.  The sunrise was absolutely brilliant and the crane and other industrial equipment worked well as props.  My only regret is that I had to take this with my point-and-shoot rather than my SLR.

Our for a morning walk in the north Denver area.  The sky was painted in pastel colors and a calm pond below reflected the trees and colors nicely.

Taken in Weld County, Colorado, the morning was bitter cold but as the sun rose between these trees my heart warmed. Colorado has the most amazing sunrises and sunsets and they occur at all times of these year. The bare trees, having shed their coverage for the winter, were darkened as the sun rose in brilliant orange.
