It was grey 30 seconds before ... - Tête-de-Ran - Switzerland

"Well, I’m livin’ in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday I’ll make it mine" (Bob Dylan - Shelter from the Storm).
I say always the same things, but is that my fault if they are true ? The night between 12th and 13th of February was the coldest of winter. In a lot of place, here in Switzerland, temperature reaches some records of cold. There was no clouds and no wind. So do I have to say that every serious photographer were outside, confronting a -18° C in order to get some crazy pictures ? I was among them. I choose to go around Tête-de-Ran in the Jura Mountains, especially because trees were still charged with snow. I was there at 3.am and I took some nightscapes. But I wanted to show you first this one : it is maybe the craziest sunset I ever seen. And with this one, the Bob Dylan moto " Beauty walks a razor’s edge" is confirmed once again !
All night there was no fog and no clouds. I was at la Vue-des-Alpes when the moon rose over the Alps, and I managed to take nice pictures. However, in less than 2 minutes, a fog came and covered everything. I had taken nice picture during the night, but I was hoping to get a nice sunrise as well. What should I do ? Going down under the fog, or going up upper it ? I choose the second option, which supposed to Climb Tête-de-Ran mountain. It's not that high, but it's quite tricky when its snow covered.
When I arrived at the summit, two other photographers were there : @adrian_wirz_fotografie and @andreas_gerth_photography who I met while shooting Neuchatel's Castle in December. We were all quite disappointed : everything was grey, and we had no hope to get anything satisfactory ... This was before the sun actually started to rise ! Everything turned pink-orange, the fog in the trees downhill looked like fire, it was absolutely fantastic !
I made really few constrast/curves popping in processing, the colors were really like thatl !
I am more and more convinced that the best picture are taken in conditions such as with just a little bit more or a little bit of something (fog, clouds, rain, and so on), they could have been ruined ...
