We set off from our campsite at 4600 meters at midnight. It was a beautiful clear night and as we got to the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro at 6:20am on the 27th December the sun was rising and suddenly we could see what we had been climbing. It was stunning I'm lost for words.

A beautiful image Rebecca, the snow has formed shapes like that of sand and one can feel the chilly winds in the face. Youve captured the lights very well. The subject itself is so dramatic that it mesmerises. Nice composition and great colours. Great effort. regards and TFS...Aadil

Lovely shot, light, colours and textures on the ground. And congratulations on making it to the top.

Hi Rebecca,
Wow! This is over twice the size of Mt Kosciuszko. It sure looks stunning with all the beautiful snow. I really like the texture and lighting. The snow almost looks like silk with all those beautiful shadows and highlights. Congratulations on making it to the top of Africa and also for capturing this lovely photo:)
