Silhouettes: Pre-Dawn: Victoria - a photo on Flickriver

Silhouettes: Pre-Dawn: Victoria

            A spectacular pre-dawn but short-lived light show. I arose early to capture this show, with the colours gradually changing from dark purple at first light through to red, orange and yellow. My photo is about 15 minutes before sunrise, by which time purple and reds were gone. Among the many silhouettes, in the background the empty bulk carrier mv Kynthos is nearing its Vancouver destination after its 2-week voyage from Hachinohe, Japan.

Location: Looking East from Ten Mile Point, Victoria, BC, Canada across the Gulf of Georgia to the North Cascade Mountains, Washington State, USA: Left of the ship, between the first two trees, is Glacier Peak (7298') with other peaks on the horizon; right of centre are the Chatham Islands.

Cropped foreground but no other enhancements.
