Here's one of my rare forays into the world of color. This photograph reveals Mont Blanc in a mystical, tormented mood, as the elements rage around the highest summit in the Alps and Western Europe.

The wind roared at altitude, topping the snowy dome of Mont Blanc. I stood in awe of this grandiose spectacle, fascinated by the lenticular clouds swirling over the summit like a celestial halo. This atmospheric formation, known to mountaineers as a harbinger of storms, gives the massif an almost supernatural dimension. The sharp edges of the foreground contrast with the perfect roundness of the summit dome, creating that duality so characteristic of the massif - between gentleness and harshness, between welcome and challenge.

What moves me about this scene is its primitive force. The clouds don't just pass by - they dance, roll and stretch under the effect of the violent currents. For me, capturing Mont Blanc in these exceptional conditions represents the very essence of mountain photography. It's about immortalizing not just a relief, but a cosmic moment when the elements harmonize to create a visual symphony. This communion between earth and sky reminds us that the high mountains remain a place where natural forces express themselves in all their magnificence and unpredictability. This work in color also testifies to my desire to explore new artistic dimensions, to push back my own limits, just as Mont Blanc constantly pushes back those of the mountaineers who aspire to tread its summit.
