Submerged
Summit shot - also useful from the documentary point of view - taken at sunrise on the top of Mount Rocciamelone (3.538 m), Susa Valley, Italy.
The month is July... but at these altitudes just "a brush" of snow can litterally submerge everything.
Above you can see the lightning rod, the statue of the B.V. Mary, then, below, the chapel, which is actually a Sanctuary, twinned with the other chapel situated at slightly higher altitude on the Monte Rosa, adjacent to the Cabane Giovanni Gnifetti.
Then, on the right of the construction, are visible the door and the window of the unmanaged refuge (I had to dig in the snow to open that door).
