This time of year mother nature delivers some spectacular scenery. "The old saying "red in the morning sailors take warning" was certainly evident as the sun rose over the east branch of the Niagara River on August 14, 2011. In fact, that age old seafarer's adage proved quite true as the red skies ushered in heavy rain clouds and embedded thunderstorms." The photo was taken that morning at 6:19 a.m. from Paul Leuchner's front yard on East River Road. "This is the actual sunrise. There was no photo enhancement of any kind. The effect only lasted for a minute or two creating quite a unique sight," Paul said.
