Des, thank you for your kind comment. I'm told that this is the same sun that you witness in California, even though we are so far apart. The difference with this one is more than likely the altitude and makeup of the clouds, and the atmospheric dust on this particular morning that may have provided the great tones we see here.Phil #2664938
