As you can see in the sunrise photo, only a fraction of the open sky is visible on the horizon. Everything else (all the blue and pink) is really a giant sheet of a cloud. Before the photo was taken, I was thinking that was a forboding sign for 2009...but then as I continued photographing, it exploded into what you see here.

I guess thats what you'd call a pink--rather than a silver--lining.

I simply couldn't stop my shutter finger, I think I took about 40 of that sunrise alone. As I watched it, I pointed up to the man upstairs and said "Kudos. A masterpiece." So stunning.



Did anyone else take any pictures of the 2008-2009 transition?

Happy 2009 everyone!
