red and gray sky

I woke up at 6am this morning and went to make myself a coffee. I looked up at the sky from the kitchen window and this is what I saw. It was a few minutes until sunrise and with every second, I could see it getting slightly brighter and the colours fading. Before they disappeared altogether, I dashed upstairs, got my camera and fired off a few shots. It was a beautiful start to the day. As the saying goes however, “red sky in the morning shepherd’s warning.” Later that afternoon it was raining!
