Scene notes:

Lucerne Lake, 6 kilometers below, is the center of the frame’s focus. A snowy slope, and a sheer cliff ridge below Pilatus’ peak extends into a third of the frame. The surrounding lakeside far below is finely cultivated greenery and forest area. The outskirts of Lucerne’s municipalities are also visible below, as are the clouds which will have no chance of climbing the mountain’s top surface and extend as small formations to the tops of the foothills and snowy peaks far beyond to the southeast.
