Sunrise at 6 A.M, the atmosphere was special. A cold morning after a short night of sleep. I was above three lakes, lake of Joux, Léman and Neuchâtel to see the first lights of the morning. A great experience that I like to share here. Shot from the top of Mont-Tendre (1679 m).
Two years after my first experience (see Racing with the Sun) at the “Patrouille des Glaciers“, I went to see the race again. Leaving Lausanne during the night, I went to Arolla them Verbier. A white night to follow the race. Great times. This time the race was not stopped and I could shoot the climbing of the top of the Col de Riedmatten (2919 m) with a long exposure setting.
I prefer to spend my time in beautiful landscapes instead of a cave. During my work, I have to spend one day in a tunnel. I took the opportunity to bring my gears with me and try to shoot something. Hopefully, there was this train bringing some lights into the darkness. Shoot in tunnel of Simplon, Valais, Switzerland.
