Seward Boat Harbor at Sunrise, Alaska.
This beautiful sunrise was Monday morning.
This time of year, because the sun rises at such a shallow angle compared to the horizon, the colorful portion of the sunrise lasts 15 minutes or more. I always have to adjust my thinking when I travel to a place like Arizona. There the sun rises nearly perpendicular to the horizon, and the best color can disappear after 5 minutes or less.

Incredible colors. Thanks for sharing the photo of a gorgeous sunrise.
Beautiful, Ron!
I’m guessing this was not at 4am, either.
Very beautiful colors Ron
Gorgeous sky colors, Ron!
You are so right about the short sunrise colors here. I’ve blinked and missed them. This is beautiful, Ron.
Thanks everyone!
You are right Ben – this was about 9:15 a.m.!
Dang, that there is some serious blue on them boats! Beautiful shot.
Thanks Gary!
They are really blue. For the blog, I was working with the jpeg and not the raw, hopefully I can correct that a bit in the final image. I did add 25% warming filter in Photo-Shop to this image to help done down the blue a bit, but I think it needs more work.
Thanks,
Ron
I believe that’s the most beautiful I’ve ever looked at, in a pic or for real!! What aperfect mixture of colors.And how this small glimmer of light glints off the water in the harbor. Just gorgeous. What a sight to wake up to!
Thanks Beth – those colors really were amazing!
With a 15 minute sunrise you’d probably have extra time to sleep in even. How lucky!
True – plus it didn’t happen until 9:15!
