Many times I wonder if the early morning wake up will be worth the effort. Then I’m reminded that a photograph is only part of the experience and satisfaction needs to come from within.
As I approached these hills just before sunrise one morning, I was convinced the sun wouldn’t shine. But I was lucky. A layer of cloud had settled overnight and stretched as far as I could see, a small gap on the eastern horizon needed perfect alignment. Then, for no more than a few minutes, the earth was bathed with warmth.
