2am

Wednesday - Despite all of the cloud, given that I was only going to be up at Gornergrat for one night, I was not going to be easily thwarted in my photography ambitions. I went to bed and set my alarm for 2am, hoping that the clouds might have broken by then. And boy, had they.

This was taken from our hotel room window. Although it looks a lot like sunrise with stars, at 2am there was just enough cloud in the sky to pick up the glow of the lights from the towns in the surrounding valleys. It was one of those magical photographic moments where, through no skill or effort on my part, everything just came together perfectly.

I think this is a strong contender for the best photograph I’ve ever taken. Definitely it’s in the top five.
