Winter light in the mountains

I went up for the snow and stayed for the hour before dark. The sun clears the ridge for maybe forty minutes and then the whole valley goes blue.

No tripod — I braced the phone on a fence post and let it run. The wind is audible in the first few seconds, which I decided to keep.

It was colder than it looks. I lasted about twenty minutes after this before walking back.

Late afternoon, above the treeline. Trimmed from a longer take.
