Early Morning

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 6 August 2012 in Landscape & Rural.

Fairly early the next morning, we went back out to see the sun begin to play on the hills. It was a different look from the evening before. I like seeing the runoff patterns on the valley floor.

Beautiful capture here that seems to take on a 3-D effect as the horizontal "bands" seem to blend with the diagonal lines of the hills' slopes.
