Matterhorn at sunrise. This view doesn't present itself very often due to clouds and weather in the area. I was fortunate to witness the the peak without clouds just as the sun came up. This view only lasted ten minutes, so it was worth getting up at 4:30 am. When I got to the bridge while it was still dark, there were about 15 people there, and I was able to stake out a good spot on the bridge. By the time the sun came up, there were at least 150 all trying to capture the same view.
Getting Positioned for the shot.
This was taken on a 2 hour walk down the moutain from the Matterhorn to Zermatt. Incredible views all the way down.
This view was captured on the train ride from Zermatt to the Matterhorn.
