La nuit tombe sur le glacier d’Argentière

Description

Le bassin du glacier d’Argentière est un site magnifique avec des vues exceptionnelle sur le Chardonnet et l’aiguille d’Argentière.

The view on the glacier d’Argentìere from the col des Grands-Montet is one I have dreamt about most of my life. I knew I wanted to capture the beauty of this magnificent mountain range from the right perspective. After several freezing nights in my bivy waiting for just the right light, I woke up early and clad myself in snow gear before trudging through thick snow, sometimes waist deep, to this location. Once the sun started to set there was magical light bouncing off the snow as I framed the glacier with the distant peaks. The morning had a presence about it – I was the only person there which made me realize once again how powerful mother nature really is, Just standing there as a spectator in something so grand, I pressed the shutter and it just felt right.
