First Sierra Light
Posted by Scott F. Schilling (San Martin, United States) on 9 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
A clear dawn breaks along the crest of the High Sierra Nevada Mountains. This photograph was taken at approximately 8,000' in elevation and I had a very hard time keeping warm waiting for the sun to rise - the temperature was 3 degrees Fahrenheit. This is at the crest of the Sierra Nevada Range - about 10 miles to the east the Mountains drop dramatically to the valley floor of the Carson, Nevada area.

Wow! As though the two trees are standing and admiring the scenery themselves. An amazing and very beautifully observed shot

A fabulous play of light and shadow. There is nothing like the dawn's early light, Scott.

Muy bonita imagen, me gusta el detalle que tiene cada cosa y esos colores brillantes del amanecer. Los dos árboles dorados por la luz le dan un encanto especial.
I will be travelling from nex wednesday and probably I won't be able to look at and comment your photos.
I'm going to Syracuse, NY.
