Aiguille du Midi in Sunset by John S

Aiguille du Midi (3,842m /12,605ft ) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif within the French Alps. It is a popular tourist destination and can be directly accessed by cable car from Chamonix that takes visitors close to Mont Blanc. The idea for a cable car to the summit, the Téléphérique de l’Aiguille du Midi, was originally proposed around 1909, but did not come into operation until 1955 when it held the title of the world’s highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 to 3,842 m (3,396 to 12,605 ft).[2] There are two sections: from Chamonix to Plan de l’Aiguille at 2,317 m (7,602 ft) and then directly, without any support pillar, to the upper station at 3,777 m (the building contains an elevator to the summit). The span of the second section is 2,867 m (1.781 mi) measured directly, but only 2,500 m (1.6 mi) measured horizontally. Thus it remains the second longest span width, measured directly. The cable car travels from Chamonix to the top of the Aiguille du Midi – an altitude gain of over 2,800 m (9,200 ft) – in 20 minutes, costing around €60 for an adult-ticket from Chamonix and back.

Frozen Kinderdijk by Dag Ole Nordhaug

Kinderdijk, Netherlands. Feb 2018.
I must admit that most of the warm tones here is due to light-pollution… but I still think it made for a nice color-contrast. A few minutes later, the glow from the emerging sun started to color the skies, but by then all the stars were gone…

Until the Light takes us by Daniel Vorkauf

Out in the cold that freezes the night Dark stars mature to ruin the light A constellation shines in blood Is this the link to our ancient god? The bearer of light with sacred flame The fallen angel enlights our way Open the gates of incidence Where all began and everything ends Save our light from the darkness The stars remain like eyes of the fairies Save our souls from the blackness The stars remain like eyes of the fairies … (Predominance)
