Photo taken this morning, June 10th, at 5:05am. The sky lit up this fantastic red for a few minutes.. but the clouds were moving so fast, that soon the sky became a misty pink, then turned grey as the rains came again... Been raining here for a few weeks. But the sun will come out tomorrow :o) taken with Olympus Camedia Digital Camera D-395, no enhancements, only a frame done in PhotoShop..
