A man watches the sun shining through Martins Hole, a natural gap just underneath the jagged ridge of Mount Grosses Tschingelhorn (2849 metres/9347 feet) near the eastern Swiss alpine village of Elm March 14, 2012. Twice a year, about eight days before the start of spring and again about eight days after the beginning of autumn, the rising sun sends its rays through the 19 metre wide hole in the mountain face before clearing the ridge.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a man stands in awe as he witnesses the sun's radiant rays piercing through Martins Hole. Located just beneath the rugged ridge of Mount Grosses Tschingelhorn in the eastern Swiss alpine village of Elm, this natural gap serves as a gateway for nature's breathtaking spectacle. Twice a year, approximately eight days before spring and again after autumn begins, the rising sun aligns perfectly with this 19-meter wide opening. As if performing an enchanting dance with the mountainous landscape, its warm beams gradually illuminate the surrounding snow-covered terrain. The unrecognizable figure gazes towards the heavens, his silhouette blending seamlessly into this picturesque scene. The serene atmosphere and open space create an ethereal ambiance that invites contemplation and introspection. Nature's beauty is on full display here - from the majestic mountains to the vast sky above. This creative use of light showcases how even seemingly insignificant details can transform ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences. As we admire Arnd Wiegmann's skillful capture, we are reminded of our connection to both Earth and celestial wonders. It serves as a gentle reminder to appreciate these fleeting moments where human existence harmonizes with nature's grandeur.
