The morning started out with the dawn sky already on display. Analogous colors ranging from brown, red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue and dark blue radiated out on the path of the sun. The big round moon was visible in the Western sky. As the morning progressed, the colors got brighter and lighter. The big red sphere emerged and it illuminated and brightened the sky.
