A Breathtaking Morning Scene

The moment I step out from house this morning, the amazing view in the sky come into sight. I quickly grab my camera & capture this magnificent moment that would only last for few minutes. The shining clouds looked so unreal but it does appear right in front of me. It is hard to describe in words, but it takes my breath away. Nevertheless, this awesome scene fades so fast. Before I could make few more photos capturing, it turns dimmed and soon the sky become silvery bright.
