2025—Sunrise on the Madison

We had only one colorful sunrise in Yellowstone National Park last week when the temperatures hovered below zero and the skies were clear. On our last day, a few clouds formed in the skies, portending the storms predicted for the weekend. As the sky turned red, we stopped at a pullout along the Madison River. The colorful sunrise lasted mere minutes and when we walked a few feet further to get more of the river into the photograph, the color disappeared. I was lucky to get the few shots that I did. It was colorful enough to reflect a bit of color in the water as the steam rose into the frigid air.
