Sunset on Alps

Www.paolomeroni.com

 

I left home rather late that day, not early in the morning. I wanted to take some photos at high altitude taking advantage of the beautiful landscape that the mountains illuminated by the light of the sunset offered. It was winter and the temperature at high altitude was starting to drop quickly as the sun went down. Arrived on the ridge, I waited for the sunset enjoying the landscape. The warm light reflected on the mountains created beautiful colors, depending on the distance at which the mountains were located. The plans stand out quite clearly in the image, creating a strong contrast between them. From the pre-Alps in the foreground, to the Alps in the background, with Monte Rosa standing out on the left. The descent, which lasted for hours, was tiring, in the dark, with the torches that for an unfortunate event didn’t work.
