From photographer Armando Colls: On those quiet, still mornings on the east coast of Florida, we are lucky to witness the marvels of nature in something as simple as a sunrise. This morning the Earth and the Sun were in perfect sync to show us a masterpiece, and although it changed as every second ticked by, I managed to capture part of today’s canvas.

Camera: Canon EOS 40D
