Skywatch, during the window of opportunity at dawn

Every morning, there's a tiny window of opportunity just before the sun comes up behind the mesa when the sky looks like this (if you happen to be playing with your new lens that makes it seem like you're standing very close to the gate).



And if I run real fast to the other side of the corral to watch the light reflect off the mountains, this is the view.



But then the sun is up, the window of opportunity is gone,
and I'm left with nothing to look at but this.



You can probably guess which is my favorite view.
