Solar Migration

The sunrises recently have been spectacular here along the Front Range of Colorado. On this day, the sun slipped behind some clouds at the end of the main event and presented this amazing skyscape. The misty clouds heavily reduced the brightness of the sun allowing this image to be taken without a filter.

Image notes: I stood in this spot busy with Canada Geese migrants hoping for a large group to fly in front of the sun. Instead what I got were multiple sorties of smaller groups flying in front of the sun. I couldn't resist the temptation in post to composite those groups into the larger flock you see here. ;-)))
