Pink sunrise on Mount Evans

This is relatively common in Colorado, but this bright pink only lasts a minute or two. This is just before sunrise at my ground level of around 5,400-feet above sea level, looking at 14,000-ft mountains that already have sun on them There are clouds in between the sunrise and the mountains, adding to the pink, as is a relatively thick haze. Two minutes later and this had faded and become "ordinary", at least ordinary for Mount Evans, which is pretty spectacular without much help.

 

This is 6-shots taken with a 500mm lens, stitched together with Photoshop.
