I observed this beautiful alpenglow on snowcapped Mount Dirfis (Evia Island), Greece, on February 28, 2020. The atmospheric conditions were almost ideal, so I decided to take a photo using my telephoto lens, as shown above. The Sun has already set at the base of the mountain, but the cloud-covered peak is still bathed in its last rays. Mount Dirfis is the highest summit on Evia Island (Euboea) (5,719 ft or 1,743 m).
