A Chapel at the Edge of Night - Wendelsteinkircherl at Dusk, Bavarian Alps

The rugged cliffs of the Wendelstein in the Bavarian Alps stand in dark silhouette against an evening sky fading from violet to pink and orange. Conifers line the ridge, the small Wendelsteinkircherl chapel with its bell turret and cross sits on top, and a railed walkway connects the cliff to a smaller rocky knoll. On the left, layers of blue mountain ridges fade into the haze.
