The fifth leg of my motorcycle tour across Europe brought me to the Klimsenkapelle, 1,864m above sea level at Klimsenhornjoch on the Pilatus massif, Switzerland. This cute little chapel is clearly visible from the cable car to the top of Mount Pilatus, perched atop a sheer cliff face that begins only a couple of feet from its gable.

It's a beautiful listed building, but its altitude makes it quite inhospitable, with an average temperature of only 0.9°c. I'd like to know who cleans the windows. They must have balls of steel.

These photographs were taken with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and the extraordinary Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 II.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
