Breathe in and take in this beautiful winter sunrise from Mt Hotham in Victoria, Australia.

Before arriving in Australia, I'll admit I had no idea there was anywhere in the country that had snowfall.  While most visit Mt. Hotham for the skiing, I was much more interested in photographing the pristine, snow-driven beauty of the Victorian Alps.

On a crisp winter morning, we watched the sun rise up in a cloudless sky, painting the horizon in shades of yellow and providing warmth to the frozen scene.

Mt. Hotham: Come for the skiing, stay for the beauty.
