Alphorn Trio at Summit Cairn Before Dawn

by Johnnie Sanchez

Three musicians stand in a tight cluster beside a stone summit cairn, their long wooden alphorns angled upward against a vast, cloudless sky. The cool, pre-dawn air holds a stillness as low sunlight strikes the horizon haze, painting the distant peaks in soft gold and violet. Early spring is evident in the sparse, dormant grasses clinging to the rocky ground near the tree line. The musicians wear heavy woolen jackets suited for the chill. Layers of mountain ridges recede into the distance, creating a deep sense of scale and geologic grandeur. One shadow stretches across the loose scree, marking the precise angle of the rising sun.
