"Dawn's rose fingers touched the sky."
Homer's Odyssey
The sun takes a great deal of time to rise this time of year. It infuses the eastern sky with a cool pink glow. I love to watch it kiss the tops of Denali and Foraker to the north. The alpenglow then shimmies down the mountains as sun rises higher in the sky. I love to stand at the sliding glass door with a cup of tea in my hand and watch this lovely display. Yesterday was perfect for this activity.
Add on about 9:13p...
If you want a more interesting angle on the sunrises, go look at Dave's site.

Those are some amazing picture that you captured! Those reds are perfect! How great to see most every day!
What a spectacular phenomenon!
It's a pretty cool time of year. It's good that we're getting the red sky because we're not getting the white snow. :)
What lovely shots of a glorious sunrise.
Beautiful. How many hours of daylight do you have, Trixie?
Beautiful, Trish! What's sunrise this time of year, around noon? Then, sunset about 2-3?
Hey, now that Rep. Regula is retiring, maybe Denali can become Denali again. (Regula has defended McKinley's memory for years & foiled every effort to change the mountain's official name back to the original.)
Just beautiful pictures Trixie! Thanks for sharing your sunrise with us.
