Alpenglow Photos

2 photographs featuring Alpenglow

The image shows a winter mountain landscape at sunset or sunrise, with snow-covered evergreen trees in the foreground and mountains in the background. The peaks are illuminated with warm orange-pink alpenglow on their upper slopes, contrasting with shadowed, darker lower slopes. Snow blankets the evergreen branches in the foreground, creating a detailed texture of white against the dark green needles. The sky is a clear, deep blue, and there are landslide paths visible as vertical white lines down the mountainside. The image captures the dramatic interplay of light and shadow typical of winter mountain photography.
This winter landscape captures Mount Lincoln in New Hampshire's Franconia Notch during alpenglow - the rosy pink light that illuminates mountain peaks at sunset. The peak rises dramatically against a clear blue sky, with its summit bathed in pink-orange light while the lower slopes remain in cool blue shadow. Snow covers the mountainside, with several distinctive landslide paths visible as white strips cutting through the dark evergreen forest. The contrast between the warm-lit upper peak and the shadowed lower slopes creates a striking visual divide that emphasizes the mountain's height and grandeur.
