Just Another Sunrise

One good sunset deserves a good sunrise. I can't write that these light shows are common because there is nothing common about them; but they are not uncommon in these parts.

Sunrise begins with a pale light so faintly yellow that it seems dull. A few minutes later, the eastern sky begins to glow more intensely. The clouds begin to reflect the red light until most of the sky is lit up like an explosion. The display changes with each passing minute until the sun rises above the horizon and the clouds fade into shades of grey.
