Protoplasmic Entity
Shot taken on July 4th 2012 on the summit of Mont Thabor (3.178 m) in the Hautes-Alpes (France), during my first night spent on that lovely mountain.
This is still an evening shot. The sunset was not clearly visible because of an utterly dense blanket of clouds and fog, a thunderstorm was also approaching... and... what you can see (perhaps I should say feel!) at high-altitude in moments like this is simply indescribable.
Everything we know of the plain, our beliefs, our points of comparison and reference, no longer exist, are just distant memories.
The wind was utterly strong, the cloud scenery was constantly evolving, visibility was restricted to a few meters, this is just a temporary opening that allows to see the ground of the summit (a bit dehydrated due to the thaw of July) which curves in direction of a still partially snowy ridge, unfortunately lost in the fog, with a cloud hit by a ray coming from the setting sun.
Image rather odd, I guess... but "rather strange that anonymous" as always I say :-)
