It is just amazing how much more beautiful the world seems to be when waking up early in the morning.

This is just one example of what nature has to offer in such moment.

Photo Settings: 300mm, f/5, 1/500 second, ISO 1250.

While the entire ski resort was overcast and had to deal with a snow storm I decided to try my luck higher up the mountain. The clouds suddenly disappeared and all I could think about was capturing the moment. The contrast between the storm under the clouds with the Sun shining above made this an even more mesmerizing moment.
