Sunrise along the Mediterranean

I remember this shot well. I had been up for hours watching the Presidential election coverage in our hotel room in Spain. It was like Christmas morning. Shelley wouldn't let me get up too early, but I just couldn't wait to see how the election results turned out. (By the way, election day television for me is the best television in the world.) I was up at 4:00 AM and quietly turned on the TV.

This shot was taken as the sun came up in Marbella, Spain - a Mediterranean coastal resort town. I'd never seen a sky so vivid with color. This picture was doctored a bit only to intensify the color of the sky and to completely blacken out the buildings in the foreground.
