Description
Unfortunately my camera starts to get an attitude. The transporter (still manual) does not work properly and I can't hardly transport the film to the next exposure, so my camera blocks. I decide to change film, maybe it solves the problem. Unfortunately it does not and it leaves me only one capture to shoot, the one you see here right now. :( The bright side of this sad event is that it happens just at the end of our vacation, and I have had the opportunity to shoot some nice pictures anyway. :)
I pass the Monte Leone Huts after enjoying a lunch while the sun shines now and then, I go a little higher until I reach the border of Switzerland with Italy at a height of about 2900 meters (about 9500 feet). Many rocks of different compositions attract my attention and I take several of them with me to show them at home. It's cold here and the landscape is rugged.
Time to go down. There is an alternative track but I've not so much time so I return taking the same track. I pass the lake once again and now I can shoot it (with the last exposure available) with the glacier and the pass on the left. This is the end of the series of Monte Leone. Thank you so much for you enthusiastic comments, I'm never alone anymore but I have always you RR people in my mind while I hike in the mountains! :)

Its interesting to see the cloud following the curve of the landscape. This lake is SOooooo beautiful especially along side of the clouds. I hate to see your vacation end as I hate to see this series end. Excellent and thanks for sharing. Aloha

I don't want to think of such accidents as having a blocked camera since I use a negative cammera as well. I love those curves and the chromatica of the scene. I hope that it won't be a "next time" when it comes of that "accident"! Alles gute!

Just beautiful! :-) Thank you so much for taking us with you and I sure hope you can get your camera repaired soon! Best wishes for a beautiful weekend and a huge VOTE for your series! :-)

My favorite image from this series of yours, as if the clouds hug the mountain on the way to finding another jet stream to follow []/;^)

The clouds make this perspective surreal. This is very cool. You simply must get your camera fixed.
