Dent Blanche
 

Selected by for http://www.photoextract.com/plus-extract/2012/9/27

As you might have noticed, I love colors in the mountains. Of course, they are most rich in sunrise and sunset (sure), so “be there” is the key. Luckily, this is rather easy as all big routes demand you to leave the mountain hut or bivouac in the night. So the most challenging thing is to stop climbing when the sun tips the rocky ridges. Good time for breakfast!

This image was made during the climb of Dent d’Herens with Daniel Arndt, showing Dent Blanche (4’357m / 14 294ft), Weisshorn (4’505m / 14 780ft) as well as the huge glacier flank of Dent d’Herens in the foreground.

Hope you like it!

    Wilfried Haferland It is always a great privilege to view your fabulous mountaintop views my talented friend! This beautiful color image looks somewhat like I am gazing down below the surface of the ocean. This effect is caused by the hazy clouds and the one sharp peak that has risen above them. The rich blues also provide an ocean type feel. I hope all of that makes some sense!!?

    I like it a lot Wilfried Haferland! And you are right being there is key. I went to Lake Geneva in the pooring rain at the end of the afternoon, gambling that it would clear up just before sunset. And it did 😀

    Jerry Johnson – Jerry my friend, it totally makes sense! Your ways of seein and interpreting images is stunningly unconventional and fresh. Seems this is the bigger inspiration than the landscape itself. 🙂 Thank you so much!!

    Dominique Dubied – Oh yeah, I had (did you know the coffee they serve at italian huts makes you stop for small business several times in a few hours?) 😉 Thank you my friend!

    Philipp Weimer – Yes, Philipp. One of the challenges is to convey what was my live impression as I was there. Especially if you look towards the golden sun, and then looking at the shadowed snow surface, it gets incredible deep blue. On this certain day, there was a strange magenta impact even in the sky, so the processed image shows exactly my impression. You know that too, don&39;t you? Thank you!!

    Deborah Vos – Really that bad? Hm 🙁 True, it is Parpaner Weisshorn above Lenzerheide. 90% sun, 10% rain. There was a thick layer of high fog underneath. GR is waiting, Ms. V! 🙂
