Rising from a cloudy bed

While on vacation to Bali, we did the night trek to reach the summit of Mt.Batur, near Penelokan. The whole climb was during the late night - in the dark. We just had torch to guide us and the clouds were thick. We had reached the top in time for the sunrise, but I was skeptical about the clouds - will they give us the opportunity to view the spectacle?
But just then, the skies cleared and the sun shone unabashed from its bed of clouds.  We even caught a view of Mount Rinjani and Mount Agung.
