Stunning West Sonoma County Sunrise: Photo Of The Day

SONOMA COUNTY, CA — Patch reader Richard von Sternberg lives in the West County area of Sebastopol and gets many awesome sunrises.

"Often, by the time I see them forming, they pass through their intense, amazing, vivid yellow, orange, and red colors before I can get my camera and shoot," he told Patch. "However, a few days ago, I was there with my iPhone camera at just the right time."

What a stunning photo, Richard! Thanks so much for sharing it with Patch readers.
