Ineffable Gleam - a photo on Flickriver

Ineffable Gleam

            Wind driven clouds fill with the ineffable gleam of sunrise over the southern-most extent of the Hielo Sur, Lago Dickson, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile.

On the previous night, the tightly stretched tent fly hummed a resonant song as the cold wind raced down the ice and buffeted all in its path. As the sun rose, it was too much to hope for water calm enough to produce reflections, but the wind had largely abated and the dense cap of vapor that obscured the ice was gone, revealing bright, glaciated contours. Of the 80-odd souls camped at Lago Dickson, evidently the thought of sunrise was compelling to nobody but me. While extricating myself from the sleeping bag in the dark never feels particularly delightful, whatever perceived pain that results typically resolves quickly and I am almost always grateful for the opportunities that follow.
