Awakening in Stone and Light
Around the time of the solstice celebrations – also known as Johanni or mountain fires – the weather forecast for the region around Ehrwald, Tyrol (Austria) promised perfect conditions. An ideal opportunity to capture the unique atmosphere of these alpine nights with the camera.
I chose to spend the night bivouacking at around 2,200 meters, just below the summits of Daniel and Upsspitze. There I found a sheltered spot with a wide view, perfect for an overnight stay.
The image shows the ridge leading up to Mount Daniel in the first light of dawn. In the background, the Wetterstein mountains rise, crowned by the striking Zugspitze – Germany’s highest peak.
A deeply moving moment – to witness the beginning of a new day in silence and clear mountain air, surrounded by this majestic alpine landscape.
