Nearly every morning I involuntarily awake between 5:00 and 5:30 a.m.. I usually don’t mind, though, as I enjoy the quiet – the solitude – and, the amazing sunrises to which I am treated here in Colorado.

But this morning’s – following a scirocco-like wind – was particularly stunning – in fact, so beautiful was it, that it moved me to tears.

These pictures don’t nearly do it justice – but the fact that they convey some of its near-unearthly colours and brilliance even though they were taken through a window, with a cellphone camera, says more than ten thousand words could about its grandeur.
