Description

I took this photo from the summit of the Schilthorn (2,970 m) last year in November. The three Swiss giants -Mönch (4,107 m), Eiger (3,970 m) and Jungfrau (4,158 m) - of the roof of Europe are bathing in Autumn light, as the sun is slowly setting down...

Thank you very much for your supportive and friendly comments. Have a nice Spring-time week-end ..Best viewed full-size...

Oh, very well done. I have a similar type image taken ten days ago over the top of the Cascades in Northwest USA. You've inspired me to post it soon. Your "roof of Europe" is rough, rugged and beautiful.

Jean-Luc I must say this has to be one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. It is hard to imagine the thrill you must feel while getting these shots.

C'est absolument magnifique, avec ce piqué, ces détails comme seules peuvent en avoir les photos de montagnes et quand on ajoute l'oeil du photographe...mais, dis-moi, cette apellation "toit de l'Europe", que j'ai déjà vue à propos de la Jungfrau, n'est-elle pas ususrpée, à côté du Mont-Blanc et ses 4810 m ? Ou alors c'est tout le massif des Alpes qui porte ce nom, j'avoue que je ne sais pas. PS : Moi, hier, je me suis contenté de 2000m à raquettes...
