It was a beautiful morning yesterday as the sun rose above the San Juan Mountains at Andrews Lake.

A red sandstone cave on the left of the photo and arching over the top. The early day sun clips the edge of the cave wall creating a sunstar. The Arizona desert is shown in the distance on the right.

The rising sun creates a sunstar through a hole in a sandstone pillar rock formation in the desert. The red desert sand contributes to spectacular sunrise of orange and yellow.

"Ein Sonnenstern im Hafen."

Sunlight streams through the ancient Roman columns, with the sun creating a radiant starburst effect. These are the remains of the Temple of Saturn, an ancient Roman temple to the god Saturn, found in what is now the Roman Forum in Rome, Italy.

Sunny Winter Day At The Lake by Debra Martz
Captured at the Great Salt Plains State in Oklahoma near Jet & Cherokee. What appears to look like a river is where the water from the lake is directed toward the spillway. Beyond that deep section of water is the frozen part of the lake covered with snow.
