49.5

A line of light runs along a ridge at sunrise and picks out a hut at the base of the Tre Cime massif. I always research my destinations quite thoroughly before departing for them, but I could not have predicted this phenomenon. I was quite surprised to see the line of light, which was visible like this only briefly. Moments later, the light had spread all over the plateau, and the magic was over. I presume the alignments that are necessary to create this effect occur only for a matter of days each year, perhaps even only this one day. Regardless, I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph it.
