Alpin Sunset at the Murkarspitze (3150m)

Day 123 of my 365 Photo Challenge.

This photo emphasizes the beauty of mountain landscapes.

It shows the Murkarspitze (3150m) during sunset.

I came back to my accommodation from a mountain tour lasting several hours and was just about to clean my equipment when I took a look out the window.

Immediately I noticed the reddish glow of the setting sun, which just about illuminated the top of the opposite peak.

I grabbed the camera and ran out to the balcony to capture this moment.

For the photo I used my Nikkor 70-200 mm F2.8.

I was fortunate because the moment lasted only a few minutes, and the glow disappeared.

I hope you like the photo!
