Mount Whitney
A two day backpacking up to Mt. Whitney allowed me to capture the morning glow in the early morning of my second day of hiking. All my limbs were still stiff from the cold night and the physical exertion of the previous day. The light and warmth was welcome and gave me a foresight of what was still to be climbed to finally make it to the top of the 4,421 m (14,505 ft) tall mountain.
The image does not portrait Mt. Whitney itself as the summit is hidden just behind the rock to the right. Mt. Whitney is the tallest mountain in California and the highest peak in the contiguous US. The area is restricted and requires a hot contested permit to be accessed.

Nikon 20 f/2.8
1/20s at f/8.0
RAW ISO 640

Interested in a photo tour through the American Southwest, Brazil, Bolivia, Namibia or Tuscany? I can help you with it and make you come back with unique shots.
