An alpine sunset photograph from the archives. This photograph is from June last year and ran into it again when I was selecting photos to upload to my Google+ profile.
Colourful alpine sunset
A landscape in colour, featuring two mountains peaks at sunset against a vibrant blue sky as well as clouds and fog.
I remember that I went out when it was approaching sunset and that the weather was clearing a bit after a heavy summer thunderstorm. I got very wet but did end up with a series of nice sunset photographs like this one!
Cheers, Johan 🙂

Clouds are amazing in a mountainscape, they really tell so many stories! Wonderful work Johan Peijnenburg !!
Thanks Sophie! I like this one myself a lot as well. This is actually a view from where I live in Switzerland :-)
Can imagine this view is every day spectacular!
Yes Sophie, but I do prefer the higher alps a bit more :-)
I do I do! and I like it!

Fantastic comp and colours Johan !
Thanks again Francis. I had plenty of time to wait for the right light … it’s a view from my house 🙂
Really ? Is there a house I can buy nearby ? I would be more than happy to live in a place like this 😉
Lol Francis. I won’t be selling soon. There is some land for sale though 🙂 These two mountains are a very nice subject to balance images like this. I use them regularly 🙂
Can’t believe I missed this shot! Love the composition! I love the silhouette effect of the mountains! The colours!!! 🙂 Excellent shot my friend!
Hah, but you didn’t Neil. There is so much going on here that it is hard to keep up 🙂 Thanks. Glad you like it!

I like the light and the fog Johan, the scenery is so refreshing.
Thank you Nora 🙂 Guess it’s a lot different from where you are or not?
yes, its different from where i live. We do have mountainous landscape here but its cool to see scenery and landscape which is so different from what we got here.
Well, you should keep an eye then Nora! Plenty of scenery from the Alps in my portfolio 🙂
… I appreciate seeing the scenery from your island. Hope to see more in the future!

Another evidence that you don’t need a fancy 10 billion dolar camera to make an amazing photo. To me this is absolutely gorgeous…especially the clouds on the left.
Tnx Emilio! I also have an all singing and dancing one … not something you always want to lug up a mountain though 🙂
