A magical journey to the heart of a celestial kingdom. This panoramic black-and-white photograph features the magnificent Argentine ridge and its vertiginous peak. Geologically linked to the Bernese mountains, it can be seen at vaud alps. It leads to the Miroir d'Argentine, renowned for its smooth, shiny wall, a real challenge for sport climbers. To the left of the picture, the Tour Salière catches our eye. In the background rise the Dents du Midi, famous Valais mountains belonging to the Giffre geological massif. Its summits are superimposed on one another, showing the Cime de l'Est, the Haute Cime, the Fingers, the Fortress and the Cathedral.

I took this photograph when impetuous winds had just covered summits with immaculate snow. Giving the rock new textures and revealing unsuspected details of the mountain. Floating above the clouds, the Argentine ridge invites us to contemplate. Carrying our gaze beyond this world, the work contributes to our inner peace. And to immortalize such a spectacle, I arm myself with patience and perseverance. Every day, I study the weather forecasts and local wind and precipitation trends. The exceptional conditions for such beauty come together only a few days a year. Those few sacred days when the queen mountain reveals its essence to me. I then photograph it to offer you the most beautiful panoramas of the Alps.
