First Light.

Few things are more special than seeing the initial rays of sun on a mountain peak early morning.

I don’t know why, but it has always been something unique to witness.

That first ray of sunlight on a high mountain peak.

Glowing warmly.

While the surrounding area is still untouched.

It draws the eye and makes you look.

Why?

The promise of a new day, maybe.

Hope, perhaps.

Regardless, it never fails to stop people in their tracks and appreciate the moment when it occurs and they are lucky enough to witness it.

It also serves as motivation to get up early to be able to photograph it.

And with winter here in the Swiss Alps it’s even more impressive with the snowy landscape.

In my opinion, at least.

But what do you think?

That’s it for this week!
