Default Sky on Fire
Woke up early and drove up to the Maracas lookout to capture these sunrise shots.

This one I took a chance and pointed the camera into the sun to capture the flare.

Lovely colurs and the sky does look like its on fire. Nice silhouettes of the hills in the foreground too. I love the soft sunrays in the second one. Thank you for sharing these lovely images mpascal.
