Rugged Slopes

After the not so spectacular sunset at the Seceda (maybe I have one image which I do like which I might upload later), we went down to our cabin to sleep a few hours before hiking up again for sunrise. Waking up at 4 a.m. we started our steep hike to the top through thick mist and I started to think that the sunrise also won’t be great. As it turned out, I was completely wrong since the mist started to disappear very quickly right before reached the top. Even though I was out of breath, I started to run the last bit to the top to catch some of the last mist, but there wasn’t much left when I arrived. The sun was also still behind the mountains in the distance and so I took a few images and waited for the sun to peek above the mountains. Although the dense fog had disappeared, there was still some thin mist hanging in the air that looked really nice once the sun shone through, where I also closed the aperture in order to get a sunstar. It’s hard to convey the beauty of this impressive location, but I hope this image somehow does it justice. I hope you like it!
