Description
It's great to reach higher altitudes, unexpected vista's unfold one after another, like this vista here on the Grosse Aletschgletscher, the longest glacier of the Alps. As a flashforward I can already tell you the top right from the glacier just touching the clouds (Eggishorn) is one of my other targets this vacation (and I have to admit it is just now I realise it is this very mountain I can see here :). The distance is only 32 km (20 miles) but the air is a little bit humid eastward.

I like your POV and curves as well as the comp. Just a pity about the image quality, I would love ot see this shot as clear as possible, cause it really is nice.

A timely presence. There is more to this than meets the eye. Simple deduction will get us to the summit. No need to leap. Crag bounding like sheep and goats do is so tempting. Ice axe and rappeling rope throw the balance off.

A dramatic atmosphere with great depth. A street of ice...

An impressive but slow flowing river of ice. Beautiful scenery - the dark ridge in the foreground and the haze adds a lot of depth. Excellent capture!
