Story:
A few years before I was at Grindelwald and we were told to visit the mountain top of the Jungfraujoch. To get to the Jungfraujoch, you need to take two different trains that go up the mountain from Grindelwald valley.
While waiting second train to arrive; I rushed to photograph the mountain, avoiding cables and non-natural objects that were around, made this color image and converted to B&W.
The second train goes to the mountaintop through a tunnel carved in the rocks of the Jungfraujoch up to 3550 meters (11650 feet).
The last image was taken from a viewing station on the mountain top.
This image was digitally solarized using the The Sabattier effect is a technique developed by Armand Sabattier in 1860. He altered the normal densities of a photographic image giving a touch of light during the development, also called solarization. It was primitively used for black and white plates, nowadays, in the case of the color it produces unreal colors and images.
Both images look great, but I like most the solarized version.
