Alabama Hills Morning Light

In the very early morning hours, a massive windstorm blew through the Alabama Hills and rocked our camper; we emerged before sunrise to find dust, combined with distant wildfire smoke, lingering in the atmosphere, which I was hoping would catch the early light for interesting sunrise color, but the haze to the east was just too great. It still rendered a soft, diffuse morning light over the landscape.
