I love the mood of this one Kurt - the clouds around the crest with the backlighting are gorgeous.

I agree, this is an awesome mood! Love that golden light contrasted with the blue.

And I always find it interesting in that sometimes as the sun rises in the mountains like this as to what get's lit up first, and it's often not what I had expected.

Lovely image Kurt. That patch of light and mist in the distance is nice combination

Thank you, Jameel. I've spent many days trying to capture something along these lines. I don't think it would work with clear skies.

Thanks, once again, John. It was another nice moment on a very awesome morning.
