Sunrise?

This beautiful polypore fungus reminds me of the sunrise. Also, if I had the skill and Photoshop, I would've added 2 or 3 miniature people trying to scale it, rock-climbing style. Heh.

If you'll like to see details of its texture, there is a large version to view. 8)

Fungi are such interesting organisms and I love macros like this that show the intricacies of their textures. Excellent enlarged.
