For years, I had envisioned capturing the majestic Matterhorn, a moment to crown the end of my journey. Reaching Zermatt was an adventure, battling bone-chilling winds and the relentless elements.
The entire trip was a testament to my perseverance, and my resolve unshaken by the challenges. When I finally stood atop the glacier, the breathtaking scenery and the piercing silence, only disturbed by distant, waking sounds, were overwhelming.
Despite near misses with two trains, courtesy of my son's leisurely pace, we made it just in time. Capturing that last, stunning shot of the Matterhorn, devoid of the early morning alpenglow but still bathed in ethereal light, was a dream realized. It was a moment of triumph, a conquest captured one photo at a time.
This photo won a Silver Camera Award and garnered a Photographer of the Year award!
