Minaret Morning

Predawn alpen glow on the Minarets, from the shore of partially frozen Minaret lake. I took this about 15 min before sunrise - something awesome must have been happening out east, because the previous morning there wasn't such an incredible predawn glow.

 

Note - the word alpen glow is usually misused. Alpen glow is what you get before the sun has risen, or after it has set, and does not happen nearly every day. The vibrant reds you often see on the mountains in the morning usually occur when the sun is actually shining on them - the indirect scattering of light creating the red 'alpen glow' is different :)
