Adventure ready

It is absolutely silent on this clear, crisp cold morning in the Swiss mountains. Air forms small clouds of mist in front of my face as I emerge from my sleeping bag at over 8,200 feet. The black of the night has already given way to the colors of the approaching dawn, and in a few minutes the blue hour will begin. 

These are the moments that I love most as a nature photographer, sitting in silence and waiting for the spectacle of color to appear in the sky. While the chamois watch me from the ridge, I reach for my OM SYSTEM OM-5, the silence only interrupted by the occasional squawk of a snow grouse.
