When Pune Wakes Up

Some mornings the sky does all the work.
This was shot from my terrace just after sunrise - that window when the city is still quiet but the clouds are already putting on a show. Altocumulus in a ripple pattern, backlit gold from below, two birds cutting through the frame if you look close enough.
No filter. No edit beyond a basic crop. The light did everything.
Pune doesn't get credit for its skies. Everyone talks about the hills, the weather, the greenery. But catch it at the right hour and the city horizon against a dawn like this hits different.
