A pre-sunrise landscape, with mountaintops in view. There is a valley below that you can not see, as it is covered with fog, so it appears that the photo is taken above the clouds. The mountain tops are dark, and the background sky is illuminated by the forthcoming sun, with yellow and orange hues.
