I am sorry, but a new rule is in effect

every post like this you have to say how many miles (if any) you drove in a car, and the hours spent driving vs hours hiking

First climbed by Edward Whymper and 6 others in 1865. Only three came down alive. Some Victorians wanted climbing banned after the accident. Chamonix has a road named after Edward Whymper and another after Michel Croz - a Chamonix guide who was one of the 4 that fell to their deaths on the way down. Whymper and the Taugwalder’s - father and son - came down alive. Lots of conspiracies about the rope that snapped.

Beautiful photo. Thank you for sharing.

It didn't show as that, but that was what I typed! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

- the red hue would depend on how high the sun sets behind the mountains on the other side
- the reflection in the lake does a lot of heavy lifting for this picture
- morning weather conditions are usually more favorable than evening
- this came with a cool train ride to get there too πŸ˜›

This one will be suitable - that is, if I decide to use it (Hard to resist as it is such a dramatic picture).

Is @Balise sufficient, or would you prefer some other accreditation?

THAT SAID - that's a picture taken on the fly with my phone, and I was traveling with my DSLR, with which I expect/hope to have (even) better pictures (if only for the polarizing filter that's slapped in front of my lens). So if you can wait for a few days (time for me to finish my trip, go home and process pictures) you might get a better one πŸ˜‰

If this is your photo - may I copy it for possible use as a cover for a book?

It will be accredited to you, of course
