Yesterdays sunrise after some snow.

Yesterday the clouds made for a nice sunrise and the light at sunrise was great for some shots of the snow around the house that fell during the night. The first shot is a pre-sunrise composite (Panoramic) shot made from 8 overlapping individual shots at 500mm with the camera turned 90 degrees to get more sky in each image. as it is almost 28K pixels wide and over 6K pixels in height. This image is best in download and double download to see the details in the mountain silhouettes. The second shot is a wider angle image that captured some of the cloud shadows and sunrise a bit later than the first image. The third shot is of the snow caught in the tree branches as the first rays of sunlight hit the snow. The next three shots show a views in a few different directions of the snow and trees at sunrise. As the sun rose a bit higher in the sky some fog started forming in the valleys to the east as seen in the next two shots. The last two shots show some hungry birds that came by just after sunrise. All comments, questions and suggestions are welcome.

I accidently overwrote part of one of the sentences in the description. Here is the correct sentence
The image was compressed to fit into the 20 meg limit - as it is almost 28K pixels wide and over 6K pixels in height.
Beautiful images! I especially like the third one - the close-up - the light is lovely.
Sorry to hear that your house fell during the night, but the great captures and renderings made up for that! Thanks for sharing.

Yep it was a real disaster. I definitely need to slow down and proof read my comments before hitting the send button. I screwed up a couple of times in this description. In any case thanks for viewing the images.
