I love winter evenings in the mountains. The snow blanket creates a very quiet atmosphere, visually and audibly. The Furka Pass, 2’436m / 7992ft., is closed from early autumn to late spring, so any road traffic noise is absent. Taking a small walk away from the mountain hut which will be the shelter for the coming short night, beautiful vistas are revealed both to the eye and the camera.
I made this photo in the evening of our ski ascend to Chli Bielenhorn, 2’940m / 9645ft. Next day we summited Galenstock, 3’586m / 11765ft.
