Patches of light

I captured this image shortly after sunrise in the upper Clarée valley. Clouds moved swiftly, filtering sunlight that occasionally managed to illuminate the steep cliffs of the Cerces massif. Several marsh marigold bushes, growing in a wetland crossed by snowmelt streams, provided an ideal foreground. The vibrant yellow of the flowers echoed the pockets of light on the mountain.
