Alpenglow

Contrary to common wisdom, my camera also works when it is not yet fully dark. So grab your sunglasses, as this post might destroy your night vision...

 

I captured this lovely scene during my June trip with benjaminbarakat to France. We set up early for the night shooting at an overlook above this beautiful lake in the Pyrenees. During nautical twilight, when the first stars become visible, the landscape is dimly lit by backscattered sunlight. In this magic moments, the landscape takes on pastel hues and the peaks start to glow in pink alpenglow. It is hard to imagine a more tranquil setting.
