I took this picture at 7:00 a.m. on November 23, 2024, while overlooking Bryce Canyon at Sunrise Point. I captured the photo in RAW format with my Canon 5D Mark IV and made no adjustments in post-processing. My family and I were on a vacation route through the U.S. National Parks. Bryce Canyon is known for its beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the canyon, and most pictures you see are of the canyon after the sun rises above the horizon. In my case, I love it when the sun isn't quite up yet, but it is painting the sky with amazing colors bouncing off the clouds as its rays shine through the darkness. We arrived early and saw a grand masterpiece of orange, yellows, and reds on the morning sky's canvas.
