Zugspitze
Took this back in April from the same place as the time-lapse video I made. Zugspitze is on my list of climbs in the near future, maybe in the autumn if I have time.
Lofoten: Two years ago
While the summer of 2006 was the ‘best in 50 years’ in southern Norway (as I was told), the sun didn’t seem to make it up to the arctic circle and Lofoten very often. Blue skies are boring anyhow…
View towards Henningsvær from Stamsund.
The Northern Coast
Tongue Bay, Scotland as viewed from Skullomie.
The empty beach and clear waters at Traigh Allt Chailgeag. Almost looks like it could be some place warm.
In the Mountains again
Down at the German/Austrian border. Mittenwalder Höhenweg Via-Ferrata.
Germany to the Finals!
Germany 3:2 over Turkey is now in the finals. Lots of celebrations again tonight. A couple pics…
At some point they got the idea to sit down in the middle of the street and start chanting. So they’d block a car for a minute or two, then get up, dance, get out of the way, then repeat. All seemed to go well, until the police would come around at about every 20th car, and would give a blast of the sirens and everyone would run to the side, wait 3 seconds, then back in the street…
Midsummer: Austrian Style
While the Germans like to build one big ass fire, the Austrians seem to prefer hundreds of small fires, which they take up into the mountains. I’m not quite sure how they coordinate it, and if every fire is a person, or one person has several fires which they maintain, but it is truly a marvelous sight. At about ten o’clock someone shot off a flair from one of the mountain peaks, and then moments later the hundreds of little fires lit up on all the surrounding mountains.
Our cabin was one of the buildings near the cow’s butt. Up at about 5,000 feet with a pretty good view.
Midsummer: German Style
Friday night at Schloss Pürkelgut near Regensburg.
