A stunning photo of the Li River scenery at sunrise has won the 2017 EPSON International Pano Award.

Spanish photgrapher Jesus M. Garcia was up nice and early to catch this special image.

“This photo was taken in China. We get up early about 3am for climbing at the top of the mountain, between trees and vegetation,” the Spanish photographer shares. “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.”
