@Balise Couldn't you have got basically the same picture from the other side of the mountain if you just went in the evening?
@proedie conceptually maybe, but:
- the red hue would depend on how high the sun sets behind the mountains on the other side
- the reflection in the lake does a lot of heavy lifting for this picture
- morning weather conditions are usually more favorable than evening
- this came with a cool train ride to get there too

️@proedie I may or may not have given some thoughts about the angle of the sun to convince myself it would be equivalent tbh

@Balise my god. It certainly was. I am so jealous. Whereabouts was that pic taken?
@capnthommo that's near the Matterhorn/Cervin in Switzerland, near the Riffelsee (very accessible by train, including at that early hour on Sundays during summer)

@Balise The Matterhorn. First climbed by Edward Whymper and 6 others in 1865. Only three came down alive. Some Victorians wanted climbing banned after the accident. Chamonix has a road named after Edward Whymper and another after Michel Croz - a Chamonix guide who was one of the 4 that fell to their deaths on the way down. Whymper and the Taugwalder’s - father and son - came down alive. Lots of conspiracies about the rope that snapped.
Beautiful photo. Thank you for sharing.

I am sorry, but a new rule is in effect
every post like this you have to say how many miles (if any) you drove in a car, and the hours spent driving vs hours hiking
