A storm was coming in during our trip to Zermatt.

Yes. Love this. The little ski lifts and other bits and pieces give it good scale.

Terrific shot! The B&W works really well. Some photos just scream to be turned into B&W and I think that this is one of them.

Very nice indeed. I like the look of this one, and the B&W is great.

Hi there, I really like the balance between the soft clouds and looming Matterhorn peak. They are both so different in tone and texture, yet hold equal weights within my eyes. My main complaint is the placement of the peak itself - I find it to be too close to the top of the frame. Other than that somewhat significant detractor, I find the rest of the image very pleasing. The tones are perfect and I especially like the soft detail in the sky.

Stunning Image, great post work. Is that a sky lift in that valley at the base of the mountain?

Nice image and brings back wonderful memories. Love the B&W treatment and the storm clouds rolling over the ridge.
There are a number of Ski lifts in the image. On the left side of the image on the sunlit plateau is the cog railway that brings skiers up to the Gornegrat. Towards the center right, in the valley and extending toward the upper left is the cable car / tram, each tram car holds 100 pers. From that tram you also have access to skiing over the ridge and into Italy. Over about a third from the right and following the ridge line of the Matterhorn is a Gondola from town ending in the Schwarzsee ski area.
When we lived in Switzerland at least 3 times each year our teacher would decide to hold class up on the mountainside at one of the mountain lakes with views of the Matterhorn. We would get up early and catch the train to Zermatt, hike up to one of the mountain lakes, hold class, usually reading Shakespeare, have lunch and later hike back down and catch the train back to Lausanne. At that time it was 4 Swiss francs to $1usd, believe now it's about 1 swiss franc to $1usd. Would love to go back and visit.

Thanks all for the comments! The image out to camera was pretty much BW so it made sense to make it a BW image. A lot of work went into post betting the blend of detail and smooth clouds, as well as, tones just right. I plan on printing this.

JohnWebb. You are exactly right. The first day we skied the Swiss side and the next day the Italy side. Skiing the Alps is very different than skiing in the Sierras (Lake Tahoe). The runs in Euro seem to go on forever.
