The sunrise this morning in Chicago was bonkers! The shallow opening between the clouds and the horizon, plus the fog, created some amazing color and sun beams. I was running around trying to get as many cameras going as I could. This is a timelapse from one phone #ilwx

Dawn along the Metra tracks in Chicago on Tuesday. The original timelapse was recorded over 40 minutes. I then cut and masked in all the trains passing back to back. They don't actually run this often.
