Charles River, Longfellow Bridge, and Back Bay Skyline at Sunrise from East Cambridge Massachusetts

I had planned a different shot on this morning from a different location, facing the rising the sun. Well facing towards the sunrise was a complete dud, but I noticed over my should a large cloud bank start rolling through from west of the city getting hit with color. So I got back in my car and raced over to this spot, which faces the opposite direction, and the only one I could think of that was close. It was tough to get this wide angle with the railing, so I had to cantilever out over the river. I got this first exposure off right before the clouds lost color.
