Looked like it, anyway. The sun was rising behind me and blasting the chinook clouds to the west with a spray of orange, red and amber light that made the wispy tops of the still-forming chinook arch look like I was heading down the highway into a raging conflagration. Gotta say, not a bad way to start a day.

I was headed west toward the mountains, not sure yet where to go. The forecast for the day was warm and windy — hence that fiery chinook arch — so wherever I went to the west, it was going to be sunny and blustery. For the moment, though, all I was thinking about was getting pictures of that magnificent sky.
