My best sunrise so far

Without even a tiny bit of exaggeration, this is my best sunrise so far. We have climbed this 3000m volcano San Pedro in Guatemala in the evening and camped a little below the summit in order to watch the sunrise in the morning. I got like 2 h sleep and was freezing my ass off at night because I didn't have proper gear and clothing, just borrowed something here and there, but damn was it worth it.

The black cloud is from another volcano nearby that has mini eruptions every hour or so. It is possible to climb a volcano that is right next to it called Acatenango (4000m) and see these eruptions really close up. If I manage to find a proper gear I will definitely do this.

Don't have a proper lens for night photography but nevertheless managed to squeeze something out of it. We climbed the summit at night. This was an incredible moment. The nature just blows my mind away sometimes.

Indeed it's an amazing sunrise. In the second picture it seems as if gold has been spread here and there in the mountains. The color of the sky in the first picture is marvellous.
