First Rays

The very first rays of the sun light up the underside of low clouds streaming eastward over the northeastern corner of Vermont. This image was taken almost a full hour before the actual sunrise, and required a 30-second exposure to make the pink clouds visible against the brightening night sky. Illumination of the beautiful fall foliage was assisted by the moon, setting behind me in this viewpoint.
