Red sky in morning

At 05:45 in the morning — a full two minutes before sunrise— all I saw was the magnificent red sky and the promise of a fantastic day. As I write this post (11am) I have recalled the old adage;

  Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight. Red sky in morning, shepherd’s warning

And it proved to be an accurate indication of what was to happen. While the clouds have not yet released the probably biblical quantities of water they contain, it can't be far away.

PS. Despite the thousands of pounds of camera equipment in the house, this shot was taken with the iPhone next to my bed that also serves as my alarm clock.
