FEATHERTOP AWAKENS - MT HOTHAM, AUSTRALIA
“First Light on Feathertop” – Along the Razorback
Mt Feathertop stands apart in the Australian Alps. With its jagged ridgelines and alpine silhouette, it’s a peak that feels pulled from another part of the world — sharp, proud, and defiant against the soft, rolling ranges that surround it. Especially in winter, when deep snow clings to the Razorback ridge and the wind sculpts cornices with painterly precision, Feathertop becomes more than just a mountain. It becomes a moment — a feeling.
In 2024, after three days of winter camping and pre-dawn wake-ups, this image was captured in a rare instance of calm. The sky bloomed gently behind the ridgeline, casting a soft gradient of gold and violet over the untouched snow. For a few breathless minutes, the mountain exhaled light. No crowds. No noise. Just the slow arrival of day — and the quiet presence of something eternal.
The Razorback leading to Feathertop is more than a trail. It’s a pilgrimage. A spine of snow and wind that demands patience, preparation, and a willingness to be humbled by nature. Every step along that ridge is a reminder of how small we are, and how lucky we are to bear witness.
This photograph is for those who rise before the sun. For those who chase silence. And for those who know that the real magic happens just before the world wakes up.
