"All things are divinized in morning light."
The Contemplative John Muir
This morning I got up at 5 A.M., hiked half way up Medicine Bow Peak, and watched the sunrise. I parked myself and my camera next to a ruddy quartzite boulder, which flushed an even deeper red as the sun rose. At the same time, the craggy ridge leading up to the peak turned soft lavender, while the lakes below still basked in shadow. Because of the thick layer of forest fire haze lying to the east, it took a while for the sun to break through above the new horizon, but this resulted in a sunrise that was especially soft and subtle.
