Good Morning Gentle Readers,
I intended to post this yesterday but it languished in the draft bin instead.
Storm blew through here Monday like a freight train and, as they often do, the kids stretched out on the couch with the ebbing firelight and Mrs TWC's company helping them drift off to sleepy-bye. It was cold, too. Wind flinging sleet and rain against the windows half the night and ice on the hood come morning.
The dregs of the storm left us with a spectacular sunrise that lit up the new snow on the San Gabriel mountains across the valley. You can see it a little more clearly if you click the picture and enlarge it.
UPDATE: SASOB asks (in the comments) about orientation. The sunrise is in the south east which is to the right as you look at the mountain range that runs generally northwest to southeast. The canyons remain in shadow because the early sun light is from a low and oblique angle. The picture is taken looking more or less due north. An imaginary line drawn from me going north would cross Death Valley and continue north between Boise & Spokane.
As Ever,
TWC
