We do have some incredible sunrises and sunsets here, particularly in the winter. Yesterday, I was out running errands early, well, early for a Sunday, and about 8:30 there was a faint glow in the SE sky. It was a deep almost magenta color. I'd never quite seen it that color before. And as time progressed, it got more intense. By that time I was back home about to embark on making a pie, otherwise I would have run off with my camera.
