I got up really early one day last week and headed to the mountains.

I wanted to catch the sunrise and I was well rewarded.





There is nothing quite like the desert at the break of day. And the first hour after sunrise is deserving of the name, the golden hour.





I took this photo on my way home. It is an iconic stretch of road and was deserted at that time of day, allowing me to get a good shot.

Have a beautiful day!
