Fact or Fiction?

I had the opportunity to guide our Secret Swiss Valleys tour with a private group in September. On the way to Leukerbad I took a detour through Zermatt and shot this photo.

A number of our group members later insisted that I never actually took this photo. The doubters claim that it’s simply too perfect, like something from a Zermatt tourism magazine. In fact, I took a vote one evening, and almost half of the group insisted that I somehow loaded this photo into my camera from an external source.

You decide.
