This is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing places I've ever been... I won once with a similar photo and almost posted about Fitz again, but from a different angle hihihihih
Awesome photo btw!
Thanks. Such an epic part of the world!
Incredible! Everything, the colors, the shape of the peaks, and the contrast between the warmth of the dawn and the coldness of the snow.
Congrats on being a WINNER in Mountains Monday Week 9!
