Morning photo: Sunny start, snowy evening

Saturday started with a brilliant sunrise, as the sun was able to get a foothold beneath the oncoming storm clouds.

SUMMIT COUNTY — The sun peaked through early morning Saturday, but it was already apparent that a storm was starting to move in, with winds gradually shifting from a warm southwesterly flow, to west, to northwest, the favored direction for snowfall in the north-central mountains. Here’s how it looked around the reservoir at dawn, and then late in the afternoon, when the snow began to fly.

Sunrise!

Nice reflections on the choppy water ...

  1. i was up in the vista haus compiling weather stats…(there was a whopping 1/4″ new-not enough to measure)-and forgot my camera. so i was hoping that the southern stream of clouds would obscure the actual sunrise…what i saw-and what you shot, was much better than the orb itself…
