Clouds Castle on the Ice
Winter shot taken on the frozen lake of the Mont-Cenis dam (2.083 m), Savoie, France.
A lovely, algid, castle of clouds was wrapping Pointe Clairy (3.161 m), its rock ridge is barely visible through the clouds.
In the foreground the first cracks of solid ice temporarily covered by a thin blanket of snow.
The idea behind this photo is to document the unique moment and the beauty of the place, but this seemed even too easy... so the real challenge was to convey the inflexible rigidity of the cold winter, a difficult season, often minimalist, somehow empty, but so full of intangible pathos!
