EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional Swiss culture against the breathtaking backdrop of the Swiss Alps. The image showcases a local male, dressed in a vibrant and authentic traditional costume, blowing into an alpenhorn at Gonergat above Zermatt. The iconic Matterhorn looms majestically behind him, adding to the awe-inspiring beauty of this scene. The concept of tradition is beautifully portrayed through this photograph. The man's attire represents centuries-old customs that have been passed down through generations, while the alpenhorn itself symbolizes Switzerland's rich musical heritage. This image serves as a visual testament to the preservation and celebration of cultural traditions in modern-day Europe. The photographer, CM Dixon, skillfully captures both the natural beauty and human presence within this landscape. With an eye for color and composition, Dixon brings out every detail - from the intricate patterns on the man's costume to the snow-capped peaks of the mountains. This print not only transports viewers to a specific location but also evokes feelings of wonder and appreciation for Switzerland's unique geography and indigenous culture. It serves as a reminder that amidst our ever-changing world, there are still places where tradition thrives harmoniously with nature's grandeur.
