Aiguille du Midi bathed in the golden light of sunrise

The first light of dawn illuminates the Aiguille du Midi and the Mont Blanc massif.

The story behind this photo

Up at 4 a.m. to reach the viewpoint before dawn. The wait in the cold of the night is rewarded by this fleeting spectacle, as the mountain catches fire within a few minutes.
