Last week, on my way home from work, I looked back in the rearview mirror about the time I hit Antire Hill on I-44 westbound and saw what appeared to be a beautiful sunrise appearing in the clouds behind me, and since I had a full charge on my cellphone, and since it has a very good camera within it, I decided to stop a few times on the way home at key locations and shoot the sunrise, if it panned out as beautiful as it potentially appeared it would. I`ll let you be the judge on how pretty it was.

..here is  the sun coming up before I crossed the Meramac River Bridge by Times Beach….with a few cars coming down the highway behind me….the next few photos are shot from the west side of Six Flags near Eureka…

…the streaks are big trucks flying by me as I`m taking the picture…..the next one actually shows the truck as it approaches my position…

…my next stop was Shawneetown Ford Road and the South Service Road, there is a barn on the south side that looks like an old mill and a pond near the bottom of the hill…

..and then I drove on west to the valley just west of Highway AH, where there is a lone cottonwood tree out in the field on the south side of the service road there…the clouds were absolutely stunning there…

and this final one…
