Newbie Sunrise pictures

[big D]

I took these last Jan. running late to work. The one with the tree would have been great but i was running late and snapped quite a few in the car. I finally stopped and snapped a few before the amazing sunrise was over. I think it was worth stopping. I just wish i had something in the foreground..it was a "spare of the moment" type of thing...Keep in mind i'm a newbie..<just getting into photography! i love it so far!

Ironically, it was the only day i took my camera to work! ..I haven't seen anything that amazing since then..i'm just glad i had my camera with me..I just wished i knew it was going to happen..i would of picked a nice foreground setting..

Lovely pictures. What do you do that requires you to get up that early?
