Alpine Storm over Mont Blanc (Explored)
Taken as a major storm hit the Mont Blanc Massif in the dying moments of the day. Intense rain and the sharp light coming from further down the l'Arve valley created a great scene and experience making my tent and isolation sharply felt. I have had this image for a while and was unsure if it 'worked' enough - deciding it does here is something a little different and dramatic. A very difficult image both to take and process.
