Thanks, Larry, Walt and Ann. To get this image, I had to get up at 3:30, drive 2 hours in the dark over twisty, winding roads to the summit, and wait over an hour in the cold and the dark until the first glow of light brightened the eastern horizon. (The park rangers close the entrance to the summit when the upper parking lot fills up, which happens at least ah hour before sunset.) Despite our location astride theTropic of Cancer, it always gets quite cold and windy at 10,000 feet above sea level in the middle of the North Pacific.
The experience of sunrise at the summit is always worth the trip. This year more so than ever, because unusual weather conditions made the view during and after sunrise much different than what I experience on previous occasions. The clouds and the fog produced a scene that was more serene and mysterious than when the blazing sun highlighted the dazzling colors of the cinder cones. Thanks again for looking and for your comments.
