Sheryl Crow says it best and I took her advice and Soaked up the Sun on the last day of summer. Was a beautiful morning under the Rocky Mountains.

Shortly after the first sunlight a stream of low hanging mist, fog and clouds covered the base of the mountain at the lake, making it a little enticing to stay a bit longer.

Taken in Canmore, Alberta - September 2024.

A stunning sunrise after a hike through clouds and fog. We were slightly worried that we would just be socked in and not get any color or views. Luckily we pushed on!
No, I tripped while I was doing long exposure and bumped the tripod. Apologies in advance for how this makes your eyes feel. Sometimes we have the best intentions and the right set up but poor execution (and balance).
