before sunrise

before sunrise by algo.
The clouds looked promising, and I went to watch well before sunrise time.
The sky lit up beautifully, and I looked forward to the appearance of the sun itself.
But before that happened a lowflying, fast moving, dark cloud drew a curtain over the whole sky, and the world turned grey again.

'before sunrise' On Black is better.

Great story about the changing light. I had a similar thing happen at Bosque this fall for a sunrise. All week we had no cloud cover which made for fairly limited sunrise photo opportunities so we got really excited when the clouds showed up our last morning. It was looking to be a home run sunrise but then the lower cloud bank on the horizon right where sun was rising lifted up and pretty much killed the sunrise dead color wise, heh. Great capture in any case, huge fave.
