…the night sky is seen in deep dark colors of stars. After a while the sky awakens as the bright moon
just before dawn, sends pink colors captured by long exposure on Mt Whitney and surrounding peaks.

A dawn rain cloud backlit with brilliant colors as a few of the mid-level clouds show unusual curves
due to precipitation, which is responsible for the glow. Just the right amount of rainfall, a very
light amount, is enough to bring out the brilliant golds, however briefly, ending on much bluer
colors due to the sun ‘going behind’ clouds which moved between it and the point of view.

On a hill view just north of Akureyri, Iceland. Looking across the inlet to mountainous landscapes in a
fog layer of stratus cloud. The low clouds move along, and a partial rainbow briefly forms in the sky
from precipitation. The dawn is pinkish on the low clouds, facing west at sunrise, away from the sun. A
three second interval is used.

Orographic effects on clouds can be varied. One tried and true method of identifying orographic clouds:
do the clouds appear around the mountaintops and nowhere else? This affirmative can safely indicate an
orographic effect: when the landscape influences the clouds directly. The sunrise requires no clouds at
all to filter through at full radiant intensity. Slowly shifting clouds with little to no
transformation over time can indicate very stable air. The mountain range brightens in the morning
sun.
