How I Got This Shot: I was hoping to find a great spot to watch the sunrise, and I was lucky to stop at this overlook just a few minutes before the sun rose over the mountains. As often the case, the most brilliant colors are just before the sunrise. Clouds always created interest and color, so I focused more on the sky – plus the valley fog is a bonus.
