Warming Up

20th January 2016

One of those high pressure mild and cloudy days. Gone are the cold crisp sunny views. The snow cover remains good above about 600 metres, but rocks turning black at higher levels. Ice continuing to form in the usual places.

    Photo #3 confuses me. All I see is a mountaineer with a bad knee. Is the famous mountaineer somewhere just out of the photo? Some explunashun pleeze.
