Radiant at sunrise, the Matterhorn towers over Riffel Lake near Zermatt, Switzerland.
This was taken in December 2010 during my first trip to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. It took me four days, waiting in the cold weather an hour before sunrise. On the fourth day, everything fell together. The gorgeous sunrise, wind direction, and snow geese all took off right in front of my lens.
Beautiful sunrise over Sanur Beach, Bali
A snow-covered dock at the Lake of Zug in central Switzerland right before sunrise
