Morning moon Lago di Braies

Expert commented- APOY round 6, Town and Country. To date I'm in overall 10th place so I can only go up or down from there! Flying the flag for lady photogs though being the only female in the top ten :)

 

The largest natural lake in the South Tyrol, Lago di Braies is also known as The Emerald of the Dolomites, but, forever changing with the light and seasons, these hues can quickly turn to midnight blue, cobalt and azure.

Having photographed it at different times of the day, it was the early morning that gave the most pleasing light.

Golden hour, if it happens at all, is fleeting because the lake lies in a mountainous bowl which blocks the sun until later in the day. I took this very early in the morning before moonset and while the rising sun was still low but making a brief appearance in-between mountain peaks.

Spot the moon!
