Morning Coffee

(1/400,f8, iso-200, 28mm)

After a heavy uphill offroad-track we arrived at the refugio de Aliva (left) for our morning coffee.
Behind it rises the Peña Olvidada, one of the peaks in the Picos de Europa -massif.

I like everything about this shot – the texture, the lighting, the sky, the variety of clouds.

  Totally agree, had to do some work (well, the car mainly) to get there, but the combination was perfect!
