Illusionary Warmth

Early morning, high in the mountains. I was outside my tent taking photos of the spectacular sunrise. It was getting warmer just by looking at the sky. But it was just the illusion, it was around -15 Celsius and frost was bitting. Using longer focal length I was able to isolate this mountain landscape illuminated by glow in the sky.
Comments as always appreciated. Enjoy.

Kind of a forbidding looking landscape. Looks cold without any place to venture. Sky is simply beautiful however.

Really nice, Arthur. The exposure blend (I assume) looks perfect, and the contrasting colors are a nice complement to the many beautiful features of the landscape.

Nice high mountain scene, Artur. Good detail and color. Yes, it looks cold.

This photograph says "warmth" and "cold" at the same time, to me, and that's a very interesting feeling... :)

Tim!
