Photo: Sunrise at El Tatio

The sun had already risen above the peaks surrounding El Tatio Geyser Field in northwest Chile, but the cloud cover remained dense for some time. When a few of the sun's rays finally made an appearance, one shone directly onto the crest of a nearby mountain, accentuating the ridge's sandy orange hue and adding a pop of color to the otherwise grey morning landscape. I turned my camera and clicked!
