Daybreak in the Dolomites. The first rays of sunlight peek through the cloud and warm the sky, throwing the spiky peaks into sharp relief against the pink-orange glow. This is a view worth waking up at 5:00am for.
This brilliant image, captured by photographer Mark Chase on a recent trip to South Tyrol with globetrotter Gwilym Pugh, was taken at the summit of the Gran Cir peak, looking out over the surrounding mountain range after a trek to the top lit by head torches over meadows, scree slopes and some via ferrata.
