Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

The morning I shot this photograph I felt great solitude. The air was cold and the view was unspeakable as the sun came up over the Matterhorn. Though I had hiked up to this overlook with two others, they went on as I lingered to feel the new days warmth. There was not a soul around as I photographed the landscape around me. The hike back down began quiet and still like that old whitewashed house I had seen at the overlook. As I descended down the mountain path life started to waken with bird chirps and warm breezes.
