Nowhere is the question of existence so tangible as in the solitude of the mountains. Photographer Markus Gisler has an eye for the unusual, the surprising and the poignant. He is fascinated by shades and nuances: foggy, snowy or rainy days, mystically overcast mountain chains, dramatic cloud formations and eerie twilight moods. Gisler's photographs are powerful images of nature that allow the observer to actively share in the diversity and intensity of the Alpine world. The sublimity of nature reverberates throughout this volume.
