A new day-winter landscape

tighter crop?

Thanks for the advice! It does look better! :)))

Eastern side of Matterhorn.
Because of the high mountains, morning light hits the top first, and than quickly expands lower. You have only couple of minutes for a shot like this!

A new day-winter landscape by Katarina 2353.

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.

The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.

Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.

It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.

Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

When I was a little girl "Heidi" by Johanna Spyri was my favorite book.
I remember 1959 Disney movie called "Third man on the Mountain". I always recognize The Matterhorn since that childhood introduction.
These are wonderful shots of that beautiful place.
