Sunrise on a New Year – This Week’s Featured Photo

A number (14 to be exact) of years ago we spent Christmas and New Year’s in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.  Most of the time, we hung out at a resort and snorkeled in the Red Sea.  One night though, my daughter and I took a little tour bus trip to climb Mt Sinai for sunrise.  We climbed up the mountain along with bunches of other tourists, in the dark, freezing the entire way.   I also hiccuped the entire hike, but that is a different story.

Near the top, our guides took us into a shack for tea and to warm up.  At some point, I realized the guides weren’t going to get us to the top in time to do any real photography. I had already been burned once on the vacation regarding missing a great photo, so my daughter and I left the group tea behind.  We climbed the last little bit to the top.  I found a good place, set up the tripod and ended up with some nice photos.  This is one of my favorites.
