Beautiful sunrise Gerry.  I've stopped in Red Lodge a couple of times over the years on the way from Oregon to South Dakota.

Oh these are lovely. Did you work with the color on Picasa? Those purples/blues are so pretty. I am just loving your photos!

Deborah,

Thank you.  I did use Picasa to pull out the colors a bit more by playing with shadows and highlights.  There are plenty more photos on my blog whenever you need to take a break and virtally visit my area!  :)

Gerry - The thick borders you are adding to your photos make your gorgeous sunrises look even more beautiful.

Mary,

You are welcome.  That was a one day warning and it did not affect many people as most were skiing and not sailing here in Red Lodge.  :)

Marc,

Some time in December I got the idea to use the borders and made them thick enough to look like picture frames.   Next, I discovered you can also modify the color for the borders and it sure adds to the overall effect that I want to share with my photos.  :)

These are spectacular, Gerry.  I use Picasa too. It's a great program especially since it's free!

Sue,

There is only a couple of photos I took in 2009 that I framed and hanged in my home (one was a photo of a moose outside my yard and the other a photo taken at Yellowstone National Park).   If I had more wall space at my home, I am sure I would frame some more but I am just happy to share some of my best photos and the beauty of my surroundings here on AR.

I think I see a moose in that first picture, far right, upper ridge. Don't I?

Happy New Year!

Russel,

Perhaps you see more than what the rest of us can see.  If I saw one, I would have also provided a close-up view.

Morning Gerry, You know I just love sunrises, not only for the beautiful color display but for what it symbolizes for me 'new beginings'. In your very early photos you captured some amazing sunrises, they are spectacular. Since I missed mine own this morning I will live through yours, today! Love the snowy mountain peaks in the background too Gerry.

You know you are always welcome to check all the sunrises that I post on my blog.   If you lived closer, I would have you over for coffee will we watch the beautiful sunrises together.   Thanks for visiting this post.

 Hello Gerry and I am so sorry I missed this post, but I didn't really! I remember seeing it quite a while ago and I wanted to feature it but I must have had a "Brain Fart"

 I have featured it at one of my favorite cloud groups and I owe you one!
