Early today I decided to drive up into the hills near Palmerston North to witness the sunrise. The photo I have posted today is of the dawn, the view is looking across the Wairarapa towards Dannevirke and beyond.

I was particularly impressed by the early morning mist layering and drifting across the many valleys of this landscape. Awesome effect and a marvellous start to the day.

TFV.

A great landscape here Martyn - the silhouettes of the trees stand out clearly and the golden glow really makes the mood..

Nicely done.

some photos like this one seem like an image in a dream, misty, golden and charming that you want to see it or visualize it always cuz it gives you a warm, calm, peaceful feeling... this is absolutely marvelous, almost surreal, the colors, the silhouette, the light, the whole composition is breathtaking..
tfs and kind regards Martyn

bonjour Martyn,

superbe ! (le titre me gêne un peu)

bravo

Fabulous capture Martyn...the soft tonal graduations work really well. And I like the gold. A stunning view.

Forgive me for saying that the title looks a little "clumsy" (can't think of a better word for it) superimposed over the image though. Maybe in a frame area, or with a lighter weight of font would be better.

Stunning sunrise! Great compostion of glowing hills and colors. TFS Perry

Nature has such extraordinary beauty! I'm sadly cynical about our chances of not making it uninhabitable for humans, though, nature in all its wonder will probably survive, whether we are here or not.

Great shot!

Richard

Incredible shot Martyn, i wish i stood next to you that morning , love the layering of yellow mist between the hills fading off in the distance. Awesome is the adjective that best describes this scene ! Top class presentation , i certainly love this one, congrats,
Carol
