Today's photo is a view to the south-west from the summit of Mount Kinabalu, taken shortly after sunrise.
With the sun continuing to climb in the sky it's rays were becoming stronger and the high cloud was starting to burn off. You can see the base of this peak on the right of yesterday's frame and you can also see how the high cloud has evaporated. With a digital camera I'd know the time difference between the two shots but as these were recorded on film, I've no idea really.
Clearly the sun's rays are stronger and you can see the sunlight stroking the tops of the clouds filling the valleys of the Crocker Range to the left of the peak and the wisp of cloud hanging in the air to the right.
There's enough light now for just the faintest hint of the green of the rainforest canopy to be visible on the right. As I stood there, freezing, I thought of all the creatures in the rainforest below and particularly the noise of the insects as the dawn heralded the start of a new day.
There were no insects up on the summit, just the wind and the occasional spoken word. Most of us were too busy soaking up the experience to talk.
