This particular morning was a text-book example of how an unpromising, dreary and uneventful dawn can, almost as if by magic, transform into an amazing light show. Had there not been the perfect layering of clouds, this shot would've never eventuated - it's a game of luck and determination, and this time I got the light I'd been waiting for!
The spectacle only lasted a couple of minutes, having begun the moment the sun breached the horizon and its rays squeezed through the layers of cloud. It didn't take long for the sun to rapidly disappear behind some heavy cloud, but this was enough for the quick burst of gorgeous colour that you see here. - Bernie
