Mission Peak: First Light on Mount Diablo
First Light on Mount Diablo. Mission Peak, California. November 23, 2006. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
The story: This photograph was made just before sunrise at the top of Mission Peak, on the ridge above Fremont in the southeast San Francsico Bay Area. Here the sun is already striking distant Mt. Diablo, a landmark peak in the East Bay and Delta area. A group of us had climbed Mission Peak for the sunrise onn this Thanksgiving Day morning.

The story: As is often the case, the photo reveals a “different truth” about the scene than you might have experienced had you been there. When I look at this photo it evokes warm light from the newly-risen sun on a quiet morning. In truth, it was freezing, a damp gale was screaming across the summit, and I had to weight down the tripod to keep the camera from blowing over… :-)
