Description
The world up here becomes more and more rocky. The timberline has been passed yet and I have to cross tracks on bare rocks, sometimes with the aid of steel-wire on little inclinations, but incomparably easier than in Fieschertal. The textures of the rock fascinate me. The red colors are probably caused by iron (ore) in the rocks. On the ridge - looking down on me - blooms alpine willowherb (Epilobium fleischeri) which you have seen before.

There is something fascinating about viewing haemotite that will never be mined for it's ore content. It's an intellectual thing not to be a prospector and yet to possess the mineral identification expertise to report discovery of mineral of economic potential far from economic access. It's like viewing a tiger far from hunters.

Beautiful glacially carved rock walls. This image reminds me of sights I've seen in Alaska, California, and Norway. Thanks for the memories Jan, excellent photo and photography!

Gorgious ! As you I've always been fascinated by all the textures of the stone (and the one of the trees)and there is an incredible diversity here, in forms and colors. But this one, with the pink flowers on the top, is so lovely Jan-Carel ! Superb shot again on the land of the Lions ;o)))) Have a wonderful week-end my friend. Hugs V

Yup! I should have been a geologist! That kind of stuff fasinates me!

Agree with tmathise, excellent capture of glacial scour. Bare rocks do make for easier hiking, though.

Pretty.....I want to climb up there... feel them and look in the nooks and crannies.

Desolate and rocky except for those tufts of vivid purple flowers! The rocks have a very interesting texture. Really cool shot! :-)

Nice closeup, Jan-Carel. Seems that weeds ( oops flowers! ) grow everywhere ;0) even on something as barren looking as this. Regards, John.

Very cool flowing look to the rock. I'm always amazed at how many wild flowers there are so high up in the mountains!
