Photo by @Gerd Ludwig. With its sparkling limestone peak and its jagged “teeth,” Ai-Petri is among the most spectacular mountains in Crimea. Made of the weathered remains of a huge coral reef formed millions of years ago, when this area was under the sea, the limestone here is exceptionally dense - hence its longevity.

A brief technical remark for photo enthusiast: Throughout the exposure of more than a minute, my assistant and I popped strobes manually towards the peak from various directions, thereby illuminating the mountain evenly, just enough for it to emerge from the shadows. Lighting a mountain that far away with just two handheld strobes – this is how far photo technology has advanced!

Follow me @Gerd Ludwig to see a photograph of Ai-Petri with daytime clouds.
