Really Dramatic! Great picture Laurence!
Being a landscape photographer, who is really keen on dramatic mountains and clouds, this photo of yours definitely does it for me. Having been to the Yukon, Northern Territories, Coastal mountains, Alaska, USA, seen the Canadian West Coast Coastal mountains from the air, with a glimpse of either Mt Logan, Yukon at 5,959m Canada’s highest mountain on the distant horizon on a clear day from the air, the European Alps and South Island New Zealand and Mt Cook(Aoraki), New Zealand’s highest mountain, on a clear day at 3,760m, which all take your breathe away, as well as having climbed to the top of Mt Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest mountain from Charlotte’s Pass at 2,228m on clear, mild Spring day in mid-November 2014 with views forever, you can never get enough of them.
Don’t think I would like to get caught in the weather thought that your photograph illustrates. Always pays to be prepared any time of year when in the mountains and take waterproof gear with you if possible when in the mountains.

Drama in action!
It reminds me of conducting a rather nerve wracking climb in similar conditions in the Sierra Nevada of Spain. When the top of a peak was eventually acquired, the sky suddenly opened up, sun beams everywhere and photographically glorious lighting became abundant. It made the climb worthwhile!

Your lovely photo brings to mind a poem by poet, Sir John Betjeman, where he says, “Flashing fine, a sunset fire” when observing a sunset’s fading light on an old house with lead set glass windows. That said, I realise your photo is of a sunrise, not sunset.

Brrr! Looks really cold! Very dramatic, formidable, razor-sharp, snow-capped mountain of amazing grandeur, where the changeable, windy, cloudy, snowy weather at this time of year in late-March threatens anyone who dares to climb it at this time of year in late-March(mid-spring), or shall I say mid-winter still for the Californian highlands at Lone Pine! Doesn’t look like spring has arrived there yet, but will probably arrive later on. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
Forbidding grandeur, Andrew.
Thanks for this posting which is appreciated.
Laurence
