Der Vilsalpsee ist ein 1165 m hoch gelegener See in den oesterreichischen Alpen. Aus ihm entspringt der Fluss Vils. Unterhalb von Gaishorn und Rauhorn gelegen, ist er ein beliebtes Touristenziel im Tannheimer Tal. Um den See herum fuehrt ein leichter Wanderweg, über den man am Talende den Bergaicht-Wasserfall erreicht. Seit 1957 umgibt ihn das Naturschutzgebiet Vilsalpsee, in dem viele Arten gedeihen, darunter seltene Orchideen. Fuer den Haubentaucher stellt der See das hoechstgelegene Brutgebiet Oesterreichs dar.

Am Uebergang vom Vilsalptal zum Tannheimer Tal befindet sich der Ort Tannheim. Von hier fuehrt eine Strasse bis zum Nordufer, die sich als gesperrter Fahrweg bis ans Talende im Suedwesten fortsetzt.

This is the view from near Courmayeur of the Mont Blanc Massif in all its glory. I've had to trim it down a bit as it was to long! But you can still nearly see all the way from the Swiss side to the French side. This is made up of about 8 stiched wide angle shots, before I shrunk it the file was weighing in at about 30 megs of jpeg from my old trusty 400d! I find the grassy slope on the left a bit distracting but I wanted to show the bottom of the valley at the right of the shot to bring in the scale.
It's definately best viewed large.

New to Beavis, Bussage, Gloucestershire
Only two Spaceliners were sold in the UK, ten years apart and rather different in appearance. The newer one was a tri-axle version supplied to Ebdons of Sidcup in 1995 but this first example had two axles and was one of several unusual early Neoplans bought by Beavis.
Following a few minutes behind 5134, MP20GP 1003 and ailing 4506 coast east towards Newark and ultimately the MMC. NJT 1003, running as MM02, ran west earlier in the morning to retrieve the ALP out in Raritan.
Brown-headed thrush - She has her beak broken. Abandoned by group, she now survives by consuming fruits. From what I know, claws and feathers will grow back but not beak. Poor thing, how to catch insects without a beak?
