Second shot in the series. I moved in closer to frame...mostly...the stones leading into the lake. This was first thing in the morning, thus the deep shadows. The reflection was fantastic this time of day and so a tricky shot.
The decision not to crop this down was a difficult one. I'd like to but I think I need to keep the stones in the centre of the shot, and some of the tree line to maintain context.
I haven't photographed them in a long time and getting used to it took a lot of patience.
In the end they gave me funny pictures.
Le amiche dell'estate alpina
Non le fotografavo da molto tempo e riprenderci la mano ha richiesto pazienza.
Alla fine mi sono divertito e mi hanno regalato foto carine.

The Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), also known as the steinbock, bouquetin, or simply ibex, is a species of wild goat that lives in the mountains of the European Alps. It is a sexually dimorphic species: males are larger and carry longer, curved horns than females. Its coat colour is typically brownish grey. Alpine ibex tend to live in steep, rough terrain near the snow line. They are also social, although adult males and females segregate for most of the year, coming together only to mate. Four distinct groups exist; adult male groups, female-offspring groups, groups of young individuals, and mixed-sex groups.

Three of a kind...
The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) is a large ground-dwelling squirrel, from the genus of marmots. It is found in high numbers in mountainous areas of central and southern Europe, at heights between 800 and 3,200 m (2,600–10,500 ft) in the Alps, Carpathians, Tatras and Northern Apennines. In 1948 they were reintroduced with success in the Pyrenees, where the alpine marmot had disappeared at end of the Pleistocene epoch. (Wikipedia) These ones have found a home in the wildpark of Han-sur-Lesse, Belgium.

When I stopped admiring the source of the Rhine and looked behind me, I saw these protected Alpine beauties, the large (5 - 20cm) Alpine asters! Not just one, but a whole bunch. I had to climb higher on a steep slope, but I absolutely wanted a good shot of them.
Beautiful alpine valley, little village wwith its beautiful alpine-style houses, nice holiday memory.

Alpine, Texas Amtrak station waiting for the arrival of the Sunset Limited, on its way from Los Angeles, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. The train was running late and the station was deserted.
Grand Bornand, France, a winter resort in the French Alps (the Aravis range in the background), preparing for the season, I was expecting a deserted place, but the traffic was busy even in the off season.
I "only" got 2 error messages today while trying to post comments, sorry if my comments are brief, there's still a chance of them not going through because of flickr's problems.
It is always beautiful to watch the sunset at the mountains...
