The Kanchenjunga massif catches the first light of the day, seen from Pelling in West Sikkim — its summits burning orange while the valleys below are still held in shadow. At 28,169 feet (8,586 m), Kanchenjunga is the third-highest mountain on earth and the highest in India, sacred to the people of Sikkim, who by long tradition leave its true summit untrodden.
Alpenglow lasts minutes, and only when the eastern horizon stays clear while cloud still hangs in the middle distance. Here it separates the image into three registers — the dark forested ridges, the band of cloud, and above it the lit snow.
Fine Art Paper — Canson Platine Fibre Rag handles the graduated tones of the cloud band with particular subtlety. Canson Arches BFK Rives White gives a softer matte reading; Moab Silver Metallic heightens contrast and lends the lit snow a pearlescent glow. Prints are trimmed borderless at the stated size. 8x12 inches and smaller ship flat; larger sizes ship rolled, and are supplied unframed.
Every fine art paper print carries a 1-inch white border for handling and framing, added outside the image dimensions shown. The exception is the largest size in each aspect ratio, where the paper is already at its maximum width: those are printed borderless, edge to edge at the size shown.
