Sunrise on Lady Mountain

Spent the last hour or so sitting outside watching the light from the rising sun creep down the side of Lady Mountain. As it moves, the light draws out the colors in the stone -- orange, pink, yellow, white -- and creates dramatic shadows. Nearly 7,000 feet, Lady Mountain is the most imposing of the peaks on the western side of the canyon, and it seems to spring up nearly vertically from the canyon floor. You have to believe that the picture completely fails to capture it.
