Light from the sun relects off the ocean onto clouds
Preview synopsis: Where light is reflected off the ocean and lights from beneath the mid-level clouds, it makes these gold colors. A clear view of the sun to the ocean with clouds overhead the observer is not an everyday occurrence where the balance must be ‘just so’.

Grand Tetons morning under layers of fair weather and flat clouds brightening

Scene notes:
Orographic effects on clouds can be varied. One tried and true method of identifying orographic clouds: do the clouds appear around the mountaintops and nowhere else? This affirmative can safely indicate an orographic effect: when the landscape influences the clouds directly. The sunrise requires no clouds at all to filter through at full radiant intensity. Slowly shifting clouds with little to no transformation over time can indicate very stable air. The mountain range brightens in the morning sun.
