Island Sunrise

Contrary to popular belief, we do see beautiful colors on the waters of New England. This Photo was taken probably 6 months ago on the north end, facing east of Jamestown in Rhode Island's Naragansett Bay. It was taken at about 6 in the morning just as the sun was coming up. It was without question, the most magnificent thing I have ever seen.

I'm not going to pretend to be a photographer and talk about lighting and composition, exposure etc. I don't know what I'm talking about. This picture was not taken with a digital SLR or anything of the sort, it was a point and shoot sort of camera (a nice one however...). All I know is that, on that morning, the clouds were red and the water was bright orange. Its worth noting that the water was this strong shade of orange even when I got close to it. I probably took about 50 shots, out of all of them, this is the best. I felt it was worthy of putting up here, just for people to see. I do have other pictures if you want to see. I've never seen anything quite like this.
