This breathtaking nature photograph, copyrighted by Hans Enderl, captures a serene morning scene in the Black Forest. The sky is a canvas of countless small, textured altocumulus clouds, painted in warm golden and orange hues by the rising sun, which casts visible rays of light. A distant ridge is crowned with a silhouetted line of trees, standing against the vibrant sky. Below, a gentle mist or fog blankets the valley, partially obscuring the green landscape. In the foreground, dark silhouettes of various trees, including prominent conifers, frame the lower part of the image, adding depth and a sense of mystery to the tranquil scene. The overall mood is one of peaceful majesty and natural beauty.
