I am a sucker for waking up early to catch a winter sunrise. But often, this is the only way to capture angelic trees poking through unspoilt powder glazed in an iridescent hue of blue and purple. I remember this particular winter morning primarily because of how cold the summit was and how beautiful the conditions were. I had also contemplated flying a drone out for some aerial photography, but my fingers were frozen solid within just a few minutes of arriving here.
