2016-12-29 waiting for the sun to rise

We have the most wonderful sunsets here. But to see a sunrise, we have to climb a mountain.
There's nothing like climbing through darkness and freezing temperatures to reach the summit. I always try to reach the summit well before the sunrise, to watch the colours change.

I am not a selfie person. In fact I am not a picture person at all. But today I took this with my cell phone, as “end-year-memory”. All alone up here,… waiting for the sun to rise and send its rays over the world and the sea of fog. How small and insignificant I am.
Excellent shot

Incredible photo. Incredible effort to GET the photo. Hoping we get to see what you were able to capture once the sun met you there.

Wow, what an amazing sight! I only ever see the sunrise from my loft room window, but your shot has inspired me, I might get out there one day to see it from the top of a hill :-)
