Magic Hour at Riffelsee (Matterhorn)

You won't believe it but this was today's magic hour at  Riffelsee. A cold but clear night was the foundation for the purple atmosphere and the thin "cat ice" was the basic for the reflection of the Matterhorn. What a breathtaking moment. It was really hard to release the shutter ... because I was caught by the beauty of this surreal spectacle.

Enjoy the purple Matterhorn view.
