We got up for sunrise for a photo shoot on the Valleyview Nature Trails.  At just past 5 am, the sun’s glow was showing behind the hills to our east.

Some video footage and some photos were taken in the golden light, then the first rays broke over the ridge.

A drone was also used on this morning shoot, seen here looking west.

The low-angled light showed the relief Mt. Peter and Mt. Paul across the valley.

Some of the erosion features stood out for a short time.

I stood behind this old snag with the sun glowing behind the trunk to take a backlit image, then the photo was re-imagined to become an interpreted version of what I saw.

As the sun climbed, more light penetrated the gullies and ridges of the Nature Park.   We were done hiking and filming by mid-morning.
