The upper photo on the left shows a chilly winter morning sunrise. Thankfully this occurs much later in winter than in summer and hence didn’t require this photographer to leave her toasty bed too early in the morning in order to capture it.

The other below is the last rays a summer sunset where the orange of the sun has all but faded leaving but faint glow to light the quickly darkening sky.
