Mount Brouillard
Hidden away on the Italian side of Mont Blanc, Mont Brouillard (4,069 m) stands like a rock rampart on the ridge that bears its name. A little-frequented summit , it attracts mountaineers in search of adventure off the beaten track and 4000-meter collectors. Its steep walls and tapering ridges bear witness to the ruggedness of these lands, where every step is a dialogue with the raw forces of nature.
For Thomas CrauwelsMont Brouillard embodies the secret soul of the Mont Blanc massif. Through his lenses, he captures the austerity of the walls in the early morning, the dance of the clouds over the ridges and the low-angled light that sublimates the rock at the end of the day. Each photograph recounts the wild beauty of this demanding universe, inviting us on an inner journey where verticality becomes a source of contemplation.
