We are still on Monte Lagazuoi Piccolo, but our cable car is already coming, so it's time to go back down :)
Monte Lagazuoi Piccolo is a peak located in the Dolomites with a height of 2,778 m above sea level. You can take the cable car from Passo Falzarego up to Lagazuoi and in a you will reach there the mountain hut Rifugio Lagazuoi, with the vewing terrace offering a spectacular view over an array of mountains towards the south and west. From the Rifugio Lagazuoi there is an easy path to the great viewpoint at the top of Piccolo Lagazuoi, where there is a cross that celebrates the victims of the World War I. Here you can admire some of the highest and most stunning Dolomite mountains: Tofana di Rozes, Cinque Torri, Marmolada, Piz Boe and Mount Civetta.

Wciąż jesteśmy na Monte Lagazuoi Piccolo, ale nasza kolejka już wjeżdża, więc czas wrócić z powrotem na dół :)
Monte Lagazuoi Piccolo to szczyt leżący w Dolomitach o wysokości 2778 m n.p.m. Na górze jest schronisko – Rifugio Lagazuoi, do którego można się dostać kolejką z przełęczy Passo Falzarego. Wagonik kolejki pokonuje 630 metrów różnicy wzniesień w mniej niż 3 minuty zawieszony na linach bez pośrednich słupków nośnych. Z tarasu schroniska rozpościera się jeden z ładniejszych widoków na Dolomity, od Tofane przez Marmoladę, aż po grupę Sella. Ze schroniska prowadzi łatwa ścieżka do punktu widokowego na szczycie Piccolo Lagazuoi, gdzie znajduje się krzyż upamiętniający walki z okresu I wojny światowej. Można stąd podziwiać panoramę najwyższych szczytów w Dolomitach.
Santa Fe GE C41-8W No. 935 leads a Burlington Northern Santa Fe intermodal train eastbound at Cable while climbing California’s Tehachapi Pass route on March 27, 2001.
I encountered this cute guy on one of the alpine trails across Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler. In reality, I didn't need to walk far: there were several marmots running around outside the cafe at the top of the cable car!
URBAN or COUNTRY CABLE ABSTRACT... is the topic for Sunday ~ September 29th, 2019, Group Our Daily Challenge.
On my daily walk, (10.000 steps a day) I often see the most incredible photo opportunities .........

A Southern Pacific Eugene, Oregon - West Colton, California lumber drag ascends the 2.2% grade through the Tehachapi Mountains at Cable, California. In addition to the road power, SP has assigned two sets of manned helpers to this high tonnage train.
In the background is California 58, the Barstow - Bakersfield Hwy.
The [Old] Alexandra Bridge, built in 1926 to accommodate cars using the Caribou Trail which was established during British Columbia's Gold Rush. Today it is far too narrow to handle 2 lanes of cars, or heavy vehicles, and was replaced with a new bridge in 1961. Now that bridge is under significant alterations/repairs.
How does one show the features of a bridge like this well? I decided to try a close up of the cables and girders to give some idea of it's construction, as well as how those cables were anchored into the rock.
