The Kofas are in my back yard (kind of, 4 hr drive each way) and I have been shooting them multiple times a year for 14+ years. The vast majority of my trips have been on weekends, with limited ability to respond to favorable weather conditions. Despite numerous attempts I have never had a decent crack at the "classic" location, the skies have always been boring blue bird.
Until this past March. I originally set out to shoot the Milky Way but was unable to find a satisfying perspective. So I stayed up for sunrise which turned out to be atypically good. Larger size here
Great image, backlighting can be really challenging and I admire your patience in getting this successful shot!
BTW, I think your website is full of wonderful images.
