A Firebird
A grand sunrise at Lake McDonald. Only lasted a couple minutes then the colors faded away. Such a treat to see and savor such natural delights.
"Although the Sun appears to "rise" from the horizon, it is actually the Earth's motion that causes the Sun to appear. The illusion of a moving Sun results from Earth observers being in a rotating reference frame; this apparent motion is so convincing that many cultures had mythologies and religions built around the geocentric model, which prevailed until astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus formulated his heliocentric model in the 16th century."
