Mountains like Candlesticks…Just Add Sun

So, once again, I thought I'd go back through some old pictures that I thought had some interesting light characteristics….


In this picture we can see the sun on its way over the horizon, but it hasn't quite poked over the top yet….


A minute or two later, though, we see the sun beginning to hit the peaks behind us, creating a very distinct line between light and shadow on the far peak.


      The overall effect is somewhat surprising to me.  Despite the fact that the pictures were taken at near the same moment in time, the second of the two looks very bright as the sun's rays hit the rubble immediately in front of us.  However, in the second pic, 
the suns shadows block out almost detail looking East.
