An early morning and for a short moment a shaft of light shines through two mountains in to a Norwegian lake.
Enjoy...

Sun breaks through the clouds of a departing winter storm and illuminates a selection of buttes and ridges in the Grand Canyon (including Dana Butte and the Tower of Set), as viewed from the south rim.

The warm bright light along with the almost continuous cloud cover leaves dark shadows with only hints of the side canyons showing below. Sunrise at the canyon is a celebration of strong contrasts between light and shadow, a condition sometimes referred to chiaroscuro, derived from painting styles used in Europe during the Renaissance.

The lonely highway that leads from the town of Winslow, Arizona, on I-40 north to the three mesas of the Hopi Reservation is largely flat and unremarkable. Hidden away just off the road is a gem of a scenic overlook named Little Painted Desert. As the short road reaches the rim, the full beauty of this unbelievable land opens up. To the south the land flattens out as it falls toward Homolovi State Park. To the west and north, the multi-colored hills rise and undulate in mesmerizing folds. At the rim the cliffs are red and orange and the mesas of the Hopi land peek out above them. This is a particularly great spot at sunrise and sunset, when the warm light brings out the reds, greens and browns of the landscape and the texture of the hills stands out sharply.
