Forgive the bad quality, this was taken form my car. I was on my way to work, and I started to see the sun rising. While the red of the stoplight, I thought the vision was beautiful, so I pulled over and snapped this quick picture. What struck me was the contrast of all the warm colors surrounding the sky with the darkness. It appeared as though the sun was not high enough to reach the surface, so only the sky was lit up. However, the traffic lights on the cars matched perfectly with the affect of the sunrise. I love the picture because of the array of colors. There is the blue of the sky that clearly fades to a bright yellow. However, with the two colors overlapping, there also appears to be pink in the center. However, the pink in the sky could also be coming from the red of the signal light. It would have been interesting to take another picture when the light turned green to see what effect that would cause in the coloring. I took this picture at around 6am, which shows that light is changing all the time, and catching it at any specific moment will cause something spectacular.

Very nice observations - I think the color theory lecture will make you understand this photo even more
