Timelapse Sunrise on The Matterhorn
August 16, 2015 by wandminSunrise on the Matterhorn, shot from Riffelalp Resort, about 5 miles across the valley from the mountain. At the beginning, notice the sparkling lights up the ridge facing the camera. The flashlights of climbers! Only the clouds along the left assure there is change. But then the sky changes color a few times in false dawn, before direct sunlight hits the peak.
