The view from Röti (1'395 m/4'577 ft) is spectacular but unfortunately it's to the north. When I made the picture it started to rain and I could hear and see thunderstorm to the east. I packed my bags quickly and rushed down the hill. Being on a hill during a thunderstorm isn't very wise.
It was ten o'clock in the evening when I headed down the mountain. I came upon this scene and stopped immediately, old British Hammer horror movies came to my mind. Vampires on the hunt for prey, lurking in the shadows. Evildoers roaming through the mist at night searching for clueless wanderers. Bloodthirsty beasts hidden in the fog, waiting... Okay, I should stopp now ;-). To make a long story short, I had to take a picture. Even though it was quite dark, I had to use a ND filter to darken the sky. Without the filter the sky would have been blown out. The blotch of pink is alpenglow, I guess.
I was hoping for some light when the sun set but got disappointed. The clouds were too thick to let light through. This didn't discourage me to take a picture. In the center of the image is the Seefeldsee (1'833 m/6'104 ft). A lake well known among fishers.
