This was an accidental shot for which I never planned. Was at Sarangkot waiting at another spot to capture the first sun light falling on mountain peaks. And then I heard a huge scream and applause while this fantastic sunrise was taking place.
I left my tripod and bag in my wife's custody where I was standing initially, rushed to the scene out of curiosity making my way through over-excited tourists like me. Then out of disbelief I saw this beauty.
Thankfully I was having 70-200 lens attached to my camera and this was captured in less than a second.
