They are waiting patiently! And where are those "fancy" cameras??! I think I see one or two but would expect to have a whole collection of them lined up and ready to snap at that perfect moment! :) Great capture!

I'd love to do something like this, will we see the sunrise? (hope so :) )

@MaryB: At this particular location it is not the sunrise itself that is so spectacular but the effects of the sunrise on the Panamint Mountains. You can go here to see the effect.
