About this photograph
This winter landscape captures Mount Lincoln in New Hampshire's Franconia Notch during alpenglow - the rosy pink light that illuminates mountain peaks at sunset. The peak rises dramatically against a clear blue sky, with its summit bathed in pink-orange light while the lower slopes remain in cool blue shadow. Snow covers the mountainside, with several distinctive landslide paths visible as white strips cutting through the dark evergreen forest. The contrast between the warm-lit upper peak and the shadowed lower slopes creates a striking visual divide that emphasizes the mountain's height and grandeur.
