July is high season for high alpine climbing – if weather permits. As this is rarely the case on weekends this year, you have to be flexible. Starting in Grindelwald, there is a nice climb up to Schwarzhoren, which features a short via ferrata.
The light was not perfect, but this scene looked quite interesting to me. The small dots below are two other climbers ascending the ridge. Blue sky is not interesting for photography, clouds are. But is “grey” sky? I hope I could frame this grey sky a little bit ;-)!

26 Jul 2012Wilfried Haferland Your shooting angle is fantastic as always and the grey clouds are perfect! I also appreciate the two human dots that give this scene such a marvelous perspective.
Oh, and your photo had me singing the "climb every mountain" song from the Sound of Music movie. hehe 🙂 I hope you don&39;t mind!!
