[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This time of year the days are amazingly long this far north. I get up after it gets light (around 5 a.m.) and go to bed just as its getting dark (about 10 p.m.). But back in January I was up for the 8 a.m. sunrise every day. At the time I shot most of the sunrises. Maybe because I've deprived this time of year, I ran across this one and it spoke to me.

Glorious sunrise, Mike.
The colors are magnificent, and I like the composition of the clouds spreading diagonally across the sky.
Definitely worth getting up early for that. : )
TFS. : )

Hi Mike, its a fantastic sky with great cloud formation and a very intense colour. I never seem to get a sky like that if I prepare to be out for a shoot. Just the other night I was at my computer and my wife ran in and said Stephen quick get your camera look at the sky, and sure enough half the street were out with there cameras. I went back to my computer. She later asked why I never took a single picture of the sky, my answer "Iv nothing to put in it". Maybe I should have at least tried because this is nice, but just think if you where at Bow River. Well done.

Hi Mike,
Wonderful array of color, and a frame filling sky. It's great to see a sunrise from the far north were you live..
Well done and Thank You!

Salut Mike
Belle et intéressante composition photographique pour ce Beau paysage et ce coucher de soleil avec le feu dans le ciel. Jolies couleurs et bonne netteté.
Merci et passe un bon week end...JP

Hi Mike

You have done a great job here. Image has very good depth of colour. Nicely composed. Clarity and sharpness are spot on. Well done. :-)

Helo Mike ,
Beautiful strong coloured sunrise( looks like a sunset to me) I never saw such an orange sunrise. I think it would look even beter if you had some more image on the right side to enhance the compositon.

Mike, this looks like one of those sunrises that fills half the sky and you can't hoe to capture the entire thing....but I can't help feelsing that you woudl have had an even better picture if you had used the 18mm focal length and then cropped out the 'unused' sky and had a panormaic picture...

Still that was some sunrise and you have captured it well.

Hi Mike
This is an amazing sunrise, so many colour and textures in the clouds that spread across the whole sky. The blue peaking through add more colour yet. Nicely done and TFS Janice

....I'm so glad to be off the river this week....the mosquitos up here are the worst in years...we usually get very few up here in Cochrane....how are they your way?

Hi Mike,
