About this photograph

Shortly after sunrise, morning mist still drifts above the snow-covered rooftops of Bansko and softens the lower mountain slopes. In the foreground, Holy Trinity Church and its stone bell tower rise above the old part of the town, while the snow-covered Pirin peaks catch the first warm light of the day. The pale mist, blue winter shadows and sunlit ridges create a clear view of a cold and quiet mountain morning.
