Swiss photographer Luan Baruti has always had a special connection to the land. And for good reason—based in the sleepy village of Leukerbad nestled in the Swiss Alps, it’s hard not to be enamored by your surroundings. Needless to say, today’s stunning image stems from Baruti’s unbridled passion for fantastic landscapes:

The sharpness and detail of the shot, taken with a Nikon D610 and a Sigma 35mm lens, make it hard to believe that the photographer was able to capture it all in a single frame.

Translated to “White Mountain”, Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in the Alps, towering at 15,664 feet. At the foot of the mountain lies the French resort of Chamonix, which gives off enough light pollution to illuminate the peak from below.
