After looking into the horizon for the sun to come up and not finding the images expected, as we turned around to head back we saw these magnificent Mittens and Merrick Buttes beginning to be lit by the very low angle sun. The earth turns from pitch black into red, at a considerate slow pace to allow us to set up gear.
