Description

I arrived at Inspiration Point before sunrise (a bit too early), but then I got to watch the valley light up! It was gorgeous. I would have loved for a train to cross the trestle, but it didn't happen and this light only lasted a short while.

Yes, the morning light of lights - it won't wait for you will it? But you have captured it beautifully and a great composition too. The only thing that I do find a little distracting, are those dead trees on the left. Perhaps a slight shift to the right may have eliminated that, or could you fix it through Pshop. Apart from that, a great shot indeed. #4774769
