Ochre-like sunrise.

Heavily shopped (to make it more correct, it was Corel, not Photoshop), of course. Clear weather is unfavourable to landscape photography, the only option it leaves us is applying several tricks with optics and software.

Waiting. f13, 1/3s, CPL + gradient blue.
Just before the sunrise. f13, 1/4s, CPL + what? I don't remember, it looks like gradient grey. The next one was taken with a skylight as sky looks more violet.
Glimmering light.  f13, 1/4s, CPL + skylight L1A. A violet spot on the top is the skylight filter's effect. I hope, it will work better with a full-frame camera, so everything will be taken again next winter. 
First sunrays. f14, 1/2s, CPL + gradient grey.
Day has begun.  
An adjacent spot, here shooting conditions are obvious to have been extreme. Too bright and totally empty sky. f14, 1/8s, CPL + gradient grey.

Pink sunrise.

Actually that didn't look so pink as here, filters, especially skylight produce this effect.
f11, 1/5s, CPL + gradient grey.
f11, 1/2s, CPL+skylight L1A.
 f13, 1/3s, CPL + gradient blue.

Umber-like dawn.

Let's make like that. A couple of filters and a bit of skills.

f11, 1/3s, CPL + gradient grey.
 f11, 1/3s, CPL + slylight L1A.
 f11, 1/5s, CPL + gradient grey.
The latter one is obviously gloomy. Quite correct, like everything here.

Relics of an ancient civilization.

Years ago this area seems to have been populated by homo sapiens sapiens.

Feel the difference.

A sunrise series from a good observation spot.

Right before the sunrise, 6.54. f11,1/2s, CPL+skylight. 
6.56, f11, 1/4s, CPL+skylight.
Sunrays touching upon roofs, 6.58. f11, 1/3s, CPL+skylight. Filters could be replaced in the meantime, I’m unsure what density was used in the first, second and third panoramas.
First touch of sunrays, 7.01. f13, 1/3s, CPL+gradient grey. Feel the difference between skylight and gradient grey filters. 
7.03, f13, shutter speed 1/2, CPL+gradient blue.

In addition to this, not relevant though. Just have no idea where it could be adjoined.
Clear evening. F11, 1/25s, CPL+gradient grey.

Industrial landscape. Sunsets, sunrises and fumes.

The entire series were taken approximately at the same spot near Pikalyovo-2 station. Arranged more or less disorderly, regardless of a season and time.

August 2016, f14, 1/4s, CPL+gradient grey:
Northerly wind, f9, 1/6s, CPL+gradient grey, January 2017:
Westerly wind, f13, 1/6s, CPL+gradient grey, February 2017:
Morning, f14, 1/10s, CPL+gradient grey, March 2017:
Evening, westerly wind, f11, 1/6s, CPL+gradient grey, March 2018:
The same a bit later:
Morning, f13, 1/6s, something wrong with processing, on one hand, lighting conditions are quite fit, nonetheless the spot is rather of all not the best:

Evening sketches in Ryadan’ valley.

While sun is setting. 

Last minutes before the sunset. They aren’t identical, the difference is in a shutter speed (1/4 vs 1/2s) and focal distance, a set of filters is traditional (CPL+gradient grey): 

Now it’s all over, only fumes are sunlit (f11, 1/2s, CPL+gradient grey):
Dissipated light, f10, 1/2s, CPL+gradient grey: 
The same a bit later:

Last:
A couple of older stitches (2 shots each) should be added here. Taken from another side of the valley in March 2017:
The difference is in filters: the first was taken with a gradient grey, the second with a skylight L1A.

Another direction, the spot is approximately 15 m away from the first one. The last rays, f10, 1/2s, CPL+gradient grey:
Sun has just set, settings unchangeable:
Made pink, heavily shopped:
