The Dents d’Ambin (3.372 m) photographed in the moonlight from the summit of Mount Malamot (2.917 m), France.
As in the “Flying Dutchman” a legendary ghost ship can never make port doomed to sail the oceans forever, also looking at the result of this long exposure taken at moonlight I couldn’t help but to think of a mountain, destined to fly forever between oceans of clouds.
Besides, this particular mountain is well suited to the symbolic concept of damnation thanks to its peaks, fitted with “horns”.
I think the black and white helps to emphasize the sense of drama.

Self-timer shot, portraying myself in contemplation of the wonderful Aiguilles d’Arves, Savoie, France.
A color photo would have worked well anyway, but I guess that the black and white in some cases allows better to convey the sense of mystery and wonder (let’s call it awe) that accompanies certain very special moments.
