As I was leaving work the next morning, after stopping off at Fenton the evening before, to shoot the beautiful fall color above the Meramac River, I spotted what appeared to be a gorgeous sunrise looming on the eastern horizon of St Louis County…

I was glad I had my camera with me and I decided to head south toward I-44 and perhaps by the time I reached a large fountain in the Maplewood area, the skies would provide me some beautiful colors for a nice backdrop…here is the intersection of Manchester and Big Bend, on my way south….

and as it turned out, my timing wasn`t too bad…here I am arriving at the fountain and shooting what is there……

I drove on up to Webster and filled my gas tank, and as I did, the clouds became even bigger in the sky and the sunrise developed into an even more intense sunrise, so I decided to return and shoot the fountain yet again……
