In the French Alps, autumn’s golden colors reach towards peaks already covered in snow. Larches line the slopes beneath the mountains, their warm tones echoed in the sunlight touching the rock and clouds. Below, a small pool holds a reflection of the illuminated summit, bringing the distant heights into the foreground.
This photograph captures the meeting of two seasons: autumn still coloring the land while winter has settled above. Among the scale and drama of the mountains, that quiet reflection brings a sense of stillness to a landscape in transition.
