Dawn near Saubersdorf 21.1.2007

This morning I got up early to experience sunrise. I drive to a small hill near Saubersdorf, with a gorgeous view all around.

My interest alternates between Rosaliengebirge in eastern direction, where the sun is going to rise, ...

 ... and to Schneeberg in southwest, already getting first sunbeams.

The sunshone zone widens ...

 ... the sky gets brighter ...

 ... now nealry all of the upper parts of Schneeberg are in sun.

Just about ...

 ... a few seconds ...

 ... till sunrise.

First sunbeams are now enlightening the nearby fields and western parts of Hohe Wand with Kienberg in front, meanwhile Schneeberg is darkened by the shadow of a cloud.

Also my hill shines resplendent ...

 ... in early morning sunlight.

The cloud has moved and darkens my hill too, ...

 ... but after about a quarter of an hour, ...

 ... Schneeberg is feee again, ...

... ... now lit by a ...

 ... magic light.
