Another 5:30am start, hour of cycling and then 2hour mountain climb had me up just after sunrise ontop of the Glyders, N.Wales. It was insanely misty, and the cloud inversion I'd hoped for was instead peaks swathed in fog. Occasionally this fog, which turned out to be the cloud ceiling sitting inconsiderately at 1000m, would clear for a few seconds and the early morning sun beam through, lighting parts of the mountainside. I sat for various long periods of time waiting for these sun shafts all day, and got some decent shots out of it. For foreground interest, frost-splitted rocks made attractive if jagged shapes into the frame...

Fab shot. Well worth the wait I'd say. Almost otherworldly.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

wow!!! And i mean it! Looks a little bit like those nebula light breaks, from the Space section! :)
By the way, those rocks on the bottom really give a touch to it!

you're just jealous cause the little voices are talking to ME :)
From the VB right to here ... had to express my fascination with this marvelous image. The color, compositon not to mention the scene itself is top notch photography. Had no qualms at all scoring it a 10. One for my favorites and Thank You.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
This is spectacular - you have captured everything here from textures to mystery in a perfect composition :-)

I love the contradictory soft and jagged textures in this and OH, the lighting! I have to admit I'm envious of your gumption in achieving this shot. Amazingly well done! The color scheme turned out incredible too! I'm keepin' it!
