SUNRISE SEEN FROM A MOUNTAIN TOP is worth setting the
alarm for the dark hours. Lower peaks rise like islands from the
foam of rolling clouds. While the valleys remain in shadow, the
sun caps the heights with gold. This photograph, taken from Mt.
Mitchell, is typical of the spectacle which rewards the early
bird.
