Glowing Mountain

I set out early to get up on a ridge before sunrise. I scrambled up a steep slope of sharp rocks that after a cold night were covered with frost. The slippery rocks were making my progress slow and cumbersome.

Two hours later I was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise. The mountain Souttasjtjåhkkå were glowing in the very first light of the day while mist were sweeping around its peak.

I think of this photograph as a portrait of a mountain. Revealing every nuance of its weather-beaten face.
