Description

This picture has been taken the same night as

from the Chéserys lake, in the Massif des Aiguilles Rouges (french Alps).

It features the Mont Blanc, top of Europe with an altitude of 4810 meters.
On the right, there's the Dôme du Goûter,
and on the left (from left to right) there're the Mont Blanc du Tacul partially hidden by the Aiguille du Midi, and at last the Mont Maudit near the Mont Blanc. (:

This night, when it went really too dark to shoot, I went down in the valley (~2 hours of walk). I loved it, mountain has a really different atmosphere by night. You can see all the (high)mountain huts lights, which make these huts visible whereas you can't see them during the day (they're lost in the landscapes). I thought it was magical, especially because I'm starting to know all the huts' names by heart and have visited many of them, & I was thinking about all the mountaineers who were sleeping up there, waiting for some awesome mountaineering day, maybe waiting to climb the summit of Europe.
