View from Matterhorn glacier paradise
The highest cable car station in Europe (3,883 m).
The views of the highest mountains in Italy, France and Switzerland are breathtaking.
Matterhorn glacier paradise – a world of adventures. From here, mountaineers and hikers accompanied by mountain guides set off to scale the Breithorn (4,164 m), a 2.5-hour climb up the perennial snows; for many hikers, this is their first ascent of a 4,000-metre peak. On some days, the views from the observation platform are so clear they seem to stretch as far as the Mediterranean. Mont Blanc (4,810 m) in France, the highest mountain in the Alps, towers above its neighbours; the summit of the Gran Paradiso (4,061 m), Italy’s highest peak, is often also visible. The air up here is thin, so visitors should take plenty of time to explore. This is also the summit of the international ski area, open 365 days a year, and the gateway to Europe’s largest summer ski area.

What could be worse than one GWR green IEP? Answer - 2!!
I was playing with the drone aound Crofton and snapped these as they came along.
We've been here before I think, but as it's up there with Achmelvich and Seacliff, I don't mind doing it again :o)
And talking of returns... I said a while back I would return to something... Stipple, have you looked at it, have you tried.... if not have a look, it might be just what we photographers are needing/looking for.

A 365 Reject for Day 2.194. It's a fun picture, but the composition isn't quite right, the focus certainly isn't and it didn't convert to black and white.
In this photograph, I wanted to capture the very essence of architectural movement. The tight framing on these black and white curves transforms the architecture into a pure abstract composition. I deliberately chose to eliminate any context to preserve only this undulating rhythm that evokes a perpetual flow. The black and white treatment amplifies the power of contrasts and emphasizes the sculptural dimension of these lines that seem to float in space. My intention was to reveal how architecture can transcend its function to become a graphic artwork where geometry and light combine in a silent dance.
