It's good to see that these meadows in the Alps seem to be still intact. In the lower regions you hardly ever see a meadow with a lot of different flowers, due to enormous production pressure which leads to 5-7 cuts per year, which doesn't help bio-diversity...
Meadow above Flims (rr. Flem), Grison, Switzerland.
This is the welcome committee that greets hikers passing along trail 10 at Lake Muffé, on the path that also leads to the Barbustel refuge.
Encountered at an altitude of 2000 metres altitude.
As usual, the weather was variable, with vapour rising from the valley floor at the start of the day, followed by darker, more threatening clouds, but then wisely the sun prevailed, without rain. A beautiful walk among the clouds.
Questo è il comitato di benvenuto che accoglie gli
escursionisti che risalgono il sentiero 10 al Lago Muffé (a 2000 mt), lungo il percorso che porta anche al rifugio Barbustel.
Come al solito, tempo variabile, con vapori in risalita dal profondo della valle di Champorcher alla mattina, seguito poi da nuvole più scure e minacciose, ed infine un bel sole ha prevalso, senza pioggia.

Winter evening at Obernberg am Brenner, Austria, happy weekend to all.
And oh what is the deal with the new user agreement we've been asked to agree to as a flickr member? How has it changed from before?

Moonrise over Traun lake and Grünberg, taken from Gmundnerberg, Upper Austria in autumn. Happy midweek to all.
The tiny flowers of alpine Erodium are in full bloom at present. They provide a colourful display during the summer months…

This is the view from Muktinath across a large expanse looking at Dhaulagiri in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal. To get here is a feat in itself as it's situated high in the mountains. When I arrived there was a fuel shortage and most of the towns in rural Nepal were feeling the effects of vehicles having no fuel. Supplies were short, and the people were also feeling effects of decreased tourists as a result of the recent earthquake.
It's almost irrelevant what you wear in high altitude the cold is bone chilling. As a photographer this provides unique challenges as we like to get up well before sunrise, and stay up into the night. What you can't see in these shots is the guy freezing on the other end of the lens. Or the feeling that pushing over a 15,000 foot mountain pass puts into a tired body. It can't explain how small I feel here, these mountains make elephants into ants. It's hard to understand the scale, but essentially it would take literally days of walking straight up to summit the mountain you're looking at. There is nothing like these mountains in the world.

I took this photo on a hiking tour between Trockener Steg and Schwarzsee above Zermatt (the so-called Matterhorn Glacier Trail). I would assume that some decades ago the vast scree and boulder fields were covered by a glacier.
