Lost the Blues + REPOST

This is a sunrise photo taken this morning above Sunrise Lodge on Mt. Rainier. The colors on the mountain were not exactly spectacular since there weren't any clouds. I came to get a blue hour shot of the lodge but unfortunately leaving at 3:30 this morning wasn't early enough. Bummer!

Wish I had spent more time here. Gotta spend a few weeks on each side whenever I head up again. I like the cool tones presented.

Really good shot, Steve. Getting up at 3:30 sounds a little painful, though. There's a lot to like in this view and I take note especially of the lavender color in the sky. Love that and look for it whenever I out on the edges of the daylight.

This is really quite nice, those pastel tones. I think you have room to tweak the contrast a bit more.

Thank you all for the comments. Even though I missed the blue hour, I did have a great time. How can I not with such a great place?

Here is a repost adding a bit of contrast per Kah Kit's suggestion.
