Rotstockli

[DigitalScape]

Rotstöckli is a peak of the Urner Alps below the Mount Titlis. The deep blue sky is from the use of a polarizing filter (and crystal clear skies at 3,020 meters -- 10,000 feet).

Hi John It must be very exciting to climb there and to shoot this image. What are those ropes on the RHS for?

[DigitalScape]

Thank you Binnur for your comments - I had a great time hiking about the area. I do not know the purpose of the pole and rope/cable on the right side of the rok is for, but I suspect it is for raising (or lowering) something. I could not walk out there to see as the area around was roped off (and I was not equipped to venture out there either).

Excellent image

Not a scene that you're exactly used to seeing in Texas!

Very dramatic and appropriately so, John. I wonder if you tried creating a little more contrast in the snow; though you've attained the distinction between the grey and white tones, I wonder if just a little more differentiation would be even more appealing.

Very nice out there...that rope cannot be a part of a zipline, or is it? maybe not...good shot!
