Early in the morning....

15th Dec, a full 35 minutes before true dawn.
Clear sky, but the eastern brightening put a lovely glow on the Sierra Crest.

C&C please.

That is an interesting take on a landscape photo. I like the fact the foreground is still visible.

Is this from your recent trip? I thought you had smoky skies - this looks quite nice. Not much snow up there on top.

Thanks, Alan! Yes just a couple weeks ago. The smoke was present, though at this time of day and with the winds in the OV not much evident. And yes, the snow hadn't made much of a showing yet.

One of my favorite places. Nice take on it.

Hey Barry,

That glow is nice along the peaks. I might want this brightened up just a hair more to emphasize the glow a bit more. A nice scene you got here.

Later in the morning the sun took care of that. Stand by.....

Lovely scene, true to the stark beauty of the Sierras in all conditions. Well seen.

C&C please.

I love visiting this place. Although I usually do in Oct. You've captured that lovely pre-dawn glow
