photo #5012056

During extended days of rain in Wildomar, California, US, one morning was brightened by this vibrant sunrise cast onto a canvas of Stratocumulus clouds. ‘The colorful display changed with every minute,’ remembers Julia Long (Cloud Appreciation Society Member 54,043). She’s used to telling people that a photograph just doesn’t do the sky justice, but this one, unfiltered and original, she assures us, surely does.
