The photographer Jesus M Garcia said,"We get up early about 3am for climbing at the top of the mountain, between trees and vegetation. After 1 hour of climbing and carry all the photographic gear we arrived at the top of the mountain. This image is the result of 7 vertical stitched images. Nowadays when I see this photo, I remember a great effort to get this picture, but I remember too…one of the most beautiful sunrises of my life"
