iN PHOTOS: Amazing sunrise inspires local photographers

Many Okanagan residents woke up to a stunning blaze of colours as the sun rose this morning.

The brilliant sunrise came as the American federal election unfolds, and some seemed to see a message of hope.

“Today’s going to be alright, friends… I mean, look at that sunrise!” Chris Mathieson wrote, while Brittany Kalesnikoff and Tina Hubbard observed "a stunning sunrise" and a "beautiful sunrise" on their social media posts.

Curtis Zutz noted the brilliant colours he witnessed this morning "only lasted a few minutes."

"So beautiful! What a vibrant sunrise!"  Michelle Russo said of today's view over Marshall Fields in Vernon.

In Princeton, Samantha Folkers also caught the sunrise. 

In Oliver, Bob Young posted his photo, adding, "Good Morning. This is the sun rise this morning. And I hope everyone has a beautiful day like this sunrise is."

The brilliant orange sunrise also heralded a change in the weather this morning, as skies continued to thicken with cloud. Environment Canada says there's a 60 per cent chance of rain this afternoon.
