Sunrise Glory In Coachella Valley: Photo Of The Week

LA QUINTA, CA – It pays to be an early riser when you can see sights such as this spectacular sunrise. Patch reader Maria Carreno snapped this amazing, vibrant shot Friday at 6:20 a.m. in La Quinta!

Beautiful photo, Maria, and thanks for sharing!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids or a pet doing something funny or something unusual, we'd love to feature it on Patch. We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is the Southern California, and that show off your unique talents.

Send your photos to autumn.johnson@patch.com, and we'll post the feature on an occasional basis. Please include when and where the shot was taken and any other details about what was happening.
