Morning Breaks Over Grinnell Point - 1977

One of my few "truly golden" photo opportunities! And, mother woke me up around 5:45 am so that I wouldn't miss it. I was never so motivated to get moving in the morning.

Taken in Glacier National Park on the morning of July 5, 1977 during a vacation in the park. The clouds had parted in just the right spot to illuminate Grinnell Point as the sun rose above the horizon. The peak is across Swiftcurrent Lake from Many Glacier Hotel.

Finally, this is a strictly "homemade" stitch from two slides that were taken without any thought at the time of stitching them. Worked out halfway decent, regardless.
