After a short break for a cigarette and a discussion with a nearby tree, the flames that melted Icarus' wings appeared. It's the bright blazes like this that make me love watching sunrises. You just never know if it's going to happen if you don't wait long enough...
So what does all of this have to do with me learning about meteorology? I've started paying attention to the forecasts, especially about wind direction and cloud levels. Here in Houston, we often get weather patterns where surface winds come off of the Gulf of Mexico, bringing low clouds, and upper level winds come from the west, bringing a higher cloud deck. Weather like that produces some truly spectacular sunrises in Houston.
I'm just getting back into photography after a break of several years . I appreciate your time visiting my photoblog.
Take care,
Eric

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks, Jaycee! I'd love to go far north and catch some of that great twilight color that you've been bringing us the past few days!
@Scene by Sharon Photography: Yes, indeed, it does make early rising worth it, Sharon. Thanks for the comments and support!
@grouser: Thanks, Grouser!
@Roman: Thank you very much, Roman! I don't know if that weather information applies to other places as well, but it may be worth getting up a bit early and checking out a nice open spot if you hear something like that in your forecast.
Cheers,
E
@Bonj: Thank you, Bonj!
@Sandrine: Thanks, Sandrine!
@Tony Duque: Thanks, Tony! You're absolutely right about the unpredictable nature of getting these colors and tones on the clouds, but at least with some knowledge of the upper-level forecasts, I can make better choices on which mornings to sleep in!
