Last night the wind picked-up, the kind Calgary gladly greets – our Chinook winds. This morning the temperature was measured at around plus 7 °C, and the mercury is expected to continue to rise, offering a welcome respite from the colder weather we’ve been having. 

With every Chinook there are not only warm winds, but also some insanely beautiful cloud formations that help to create picturesque sunrises.

Here are 11 of the best photos of this morning’s Chinook sunrise:
