Alpine-glow

I woke up to the Alpine-glow on Lone Peak in Big Sky Montana. It hadn’t gotten to the foothills in front yet. The mountain looked so clear and sharp I just had to make what must be my 10,000th capture of this view. Add in the hot air balloons and what a good sight for a morning!

This morning I woke up with one of my favorite views. This is Lone Peak, in Big Sky Montana. When conditions are just right the Alpine-glow hits the face of this mountain first and lights it up while everything else is still in the shadow of the earth. It is a fleeting moment and you have to be ready. Fortunately I could shoot this right through the window of my bedroom and didn’t have to get dressed to go outside in the sub-zero weather. Tomorrow will bring another opportunity but who knows just how it will look. If something like this happens again, I will be there camera at the ready.
