Above the Clouds

We were treated to a rare event early this morning with heavy fog covering our area.  The rare part came when I climbed to an elevation where I came out above the clouds with only the beautiful snow-covered tips of the La Plata Mountains exposed.  The view was incredible!  This is something we rarely get to see.  I felt like I was somewhere in the Pacific Northwest with a lone volcano peaking through. Instead this was taken at sunrise in the beautiful San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado.
