Cloud castle
Late in the season, I still hoped to photograph the Mer de Glace with blooming rhododendrons. Most bushes at this altitude had already flowered and wilted several weeks earlier. While exploring the rocks near the only spot suitable for camping on this steep slope, I discovered some still-fresh flowers. Clouds were beginning to embrace the peaks and fill the narrow valleys of the Mont-Blanc massif. I captured this precise moment because the central cloud reminded me of a flag flying from castle towers.
