Steam Rising From Volcanic Hot Spring at Dawn Valley

Low morning light strikes the horizon haze across a wide valley floor near Tbilisi, illuminating thick mist that rests on the ground. Plumes of white steam rise steadily from a volcanic hot spring, their edges softening into the pale sky. The steam catches the first golden rays, turning the vapor into a glowing column against the darkened valley. Cool blues and grays dominate the foreground, against the warm orange glow on the distant ridges. The steam drifts slowly across the surface, creating a textured layer that obscures the water's edge. A faint reflection of the rising sun shimmers on the wet stones near the spring's rim.
