Description

On these heights, in the world of the glacier, there is still an exuberance of wild flowers, like kerner's lousewort (Pedicularis kerneri) that is blooming here. After enjoying edelweiss and this lousewort it's time to descend... to the glacier! Don't start to run down, that's bad for your knees. I have had times my meniscus started to hurt on almost every descent. I discovered it can be prevented by going down in very little steps. And you can start to use walking sticks, of course.

what a GORGEOUS flower, Jan-Carel! i love this color!! fushia/magenta...it really stands out and wants to be noticed! good that you did! i would have fun playing with this image. that little flower says to me, "me make stand apart from the rest!" LOL! (yeah...i'm so nutz i hear the subjects of my images and other people's images talking to me!!!) just teasing!!! (just in case someone thinks i'm serious!) hehe! Anyway, i would be tempted to play with this image and maybe desaturate the background...perhaps even do some selective coloring here. i'd want to try to give less attention to the background so the flower stands out more. but that's just me. i like to play with pictures! :) perhaps YOU heard the others flowers saying, "please, please give us our glory!!!" LOL! sorry for being so silly! ;) nice shallow DOF you got there to make her stand out! you did her good! :)
