The "V" sure take the eye to the beauty.

This is a beautiful location and I have done many images from this spot over the years. Unfortunately, I was prevented from shooting the best sunrise I ever saw here. I was teaching a workshop along with another guy and I ended up doing everything to get the shot for a woman from Texas except trip the shutter. :) That was back in the film days so we were using split nd filters to balance sky and foreground. So I composed the image, figured out the exposure a number of times and made sure everything was set correctly so she could push the plunger on her cable release. We reviewed the participants images at the end and that image was probably the best photo taken by the group. I was disappointed but that sometimes happens.
