Between indirect and direct sunrise colors’ brilliantly illuminating a nearer field of midlevel clouds, distant cirrus bands started catching some of the earliest rays of sunshine at higher altitudes (and lower longitudes). A deep-zoom peek into their lair brings them out nicely. With all this action going on in the east, and even a little later in the west, this splendid sunrise on Mount Desert Island was one of the best of recent years for me. That’s saying something, considering I see many good ones in Oklahoma.
