+ Gold Before the Storm + [Contest Finalists May 2007]
Uploaded: May 11, 2007 18:22:41
This would have to be the most spectacular sunrise I have witnessed. Within minutes, these golden clouds turned to rain and the colour was gone. I stuffed the camera down my shirt and sheltered under a large tree. Taken at Lake Macquarie, NSW.

I can see you must be the master of sunset photography :) Wonderful gallery and excellent capture here! #4519927Phillip R. Connolly July 20, 2007
Thank you Steven. Actually it was a sunrise, as most of mine are, due to the fact we don't live where sunsets are usually visible to us, and secondly I tend to be more of a morning person. I however appreciate you taking the time to comment on my image.Phil #4532773
