That is a beautiful sunrise over the Sandias and river. A slight orange tint from wildfire smoke? No fires in our general area yet, though I see some tinting time to time from a big fire in central Oregon drifting our way.
Biggest one here in Oregon is still the Cram Fire northeast of Madras. Oregon Fire Map details

Actually been able to watch the sun rise as of late. No, no, not getting up any earlier (crazy talk), just not getting any sleep from the night before. Glenda shares my sleep deprived eyes.

Thanks, Lavinia. Probably smoke from wildfires. I don’t believe there are any major fires right now.
