002BeforeSunrise

I got to Pontresina a day and a half before the conference started so I had a bit of time to get settled. I went for a few walks around town and happened upon this nice view of a distant peak through the trees. At the time the light wasn't all that great - it was in the early afternoon and the shadows were quite harsh. So one morning during the workshop when I randomly woke up early I ran to this spot (all the way across town) with my camera. This picture was from just before the sun hit the peak. You can compare it to the next picture.
