After the alpenglow
Alpenglows are magnificent but the short period after alpenglow is beautiful in a different, softer way. As the sun slips down, past the horizon, and the night shadows creep slowly up the mountainside, the peaks of Mount Fisher lose their apricot hues and return to an icy blue-white. If there are no clouds, the sky behind the peaks blushes a rosy pink and then, as the sun continues its journey west, the deep blues of evening begin to appear just above the mountain snows and the pinks deepen and move higher into the sky. It's a magical transformation that holds me in awe time and time again.
