I got up 4 o'clock in the morning and hiked up to the summit of a hill close to where I live. When the sun started to climb, it painted the scenery in different colors. The beauty of it came through the haze in the valley and the top of the hill. In the background you can see the Swiss Alps, standing out of morning fog.

Black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix)
From the cycle - Birds of Europe. You can see more my photos from this cycle by entering "Pawel's Birds of Europe" in the search box.
Black grouse can be found on open habitats across Europe. They are adapted to an extensive array of habitats, though most frequently utilize the transitionary zones between forests and open clearings, especially steppe, heathland, grassland and pasture when near agricultural fields. Black grouse have a very distinctive and well-recorded courtship ritual. Every dawn in the spring, male grouse begin competition with other males in hopes of attracting a hen to mate with. They will display to signal their territory and vigor by fanning out their elaborate lyre-shaped tails and inflating their necks on designated open ground called a lek. Their song consists of a long, dove-like bubbling coo or murmur. Black grouse hens visiting the lek decide the overall healthiest male, though not all females may arrive at every lek.

A truly memorable morning on the Snowdon Horseshoe. This was the four shot panoramic view from near the top of the climb up to the start of the Crib Goch ridge, looking straight down to the Bwlch y Moch where you can make out the Pyg track crossing the ridge line. Down to the left is the Pass of Llanberis, and you can just make out a white coach making its way up to the top of the pass - Pen y Pass. Rising above the pass to the left is Glyder Fawr with it's head in the clouds, and a little to the right is Gyder Fach. In the right centre of the image in the distance you can see part of Moel Siabod, it's summit obscured by the near cloud. In the lower centre right is crags of Carreg Gwalch rising above the Llyn Teryn (the smaller lake) and finally part of Llyn Llydaw can be seen bottom right. When I set off that morning the sky was cloudless, but as I climbed up the clouds moved in quite spectacularly, and wreathed the hills in turbulent mist. Unfortunately I could not get the shot I came for - the view along the Crib Goch to the summit of Yr Wyddfa - as heavy cloud settled over the summit for the whole day. Although the cloud lifted from most of the mountain in the afternoon, I got the best of the conditions early on, and the it made for a really special day.
Yet another one from my recent (and brief) morning visit to Messologhi, in western Greece.
As I wrote on a previous photo, in conditions like this (great-looking and fast-moving clouds) I like to try some long exposure photos, but this time the reflections on the water were absolutely perfect mirror-like, making me think that I should leave it just as it is. I'm pretty sure anything else would spoil it instead of making it better.
A beautiful way to be woken from my slumber.....I think we need all the inspiration we can get right now and we can ALWAYS rely on Mother Nature for that.
A tranquil morning on the Hudson River from the Little Stony Point view in Cold Spring, NY.
The extreme heat of the past few days has created interesting weather patterns and excellent conditions for Landscape Photography. This is an image from yesterday morning at dawn when the first light rays of the day combined with a storm front moving through, creating a beautiful mix of warm and cool tones. A few minutes later conditions changed again as the color faded and fog rolled into the scene.

The start of a familiar hymn … and a view I love to capture, maybe because it is indeed so familiar to me.
These glorious orange sunrises are part of the winter colour-scape - and it's additionally special when I can capture the crows that wake from the nests in the trees to greet the dawn.

Not as clear as it's been but they have been back-burning ... a good thing before Summer
