Alphorn Trio Silhouetted Against Mountain Pass Light

Bright midmorning sun falls through early summer leaves, casting dappled patterns across a rocky summit cairn. Three figures stand silhouetted against the intense glare, their long alphorns angled upward as wind whips their clothing and hair. The trees frame the group just above the tree line, their branches swaying in the gusts. The stone mound beneath them is rough and weathered, against the smooth, dark shapes of the musicians. Shadows stretch sharply across the ground where the light breaks through the foliage. One pine needle rests on the edge of a flat rock in the immediate foreground.
