Before dawn, we made the winding climb to the summit of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. October air swept across the granite summit, as clouds shifted above the Atlantic in the changing early morning light.
For a long while the sun remained hidden.
Then, almost without warning, a break opened in the clouds. Light poured through in brilliant rays, illuminating a small circle of water below while the surrounding landscape remained in shadow. For a few fleeting moments, the scene felt almost otherworldly — a quiet stage where light itself became the subject.
Moments like this are why photographers rise before dawn. You can’t plan them. You can only be there when they happen.
