Zermatt

Light and Darkness! - Riffelsee, Switzerland

Although we did not get very good light when photographing the Matterhorn at Riffelsee, because of the setting sun being behind it, the snow-capped peaks to the east were catching the warm glow of the sun brilliantly. I decided to reach for my long lens and get a close-up of the intricate patterns created by the light and shadow combined with the texture of the glaciers, as the darkness consumed the last light of the day. It made for somewhat cluttered but interesting image. What do you think?
