View at Murren

These peaks are the loveliest in the Bernese Alps, and they have been discovered and here revealed in one of their most brilliantly colorful phases. The climbing evergreens are like an insurgent army with fixed bayonets. Seen in shadow, they wear the intense blue of lapis-lazuli, dazzingly beautiful. The emerging mountain peaks and ridges show a warm golden pink in the afternoon light, the sky above them a vibrant blue. The whole scheme of form and color has power and impressiveness—and it is full of beauty.
