Pretty odd but that’s what it says on that man’s t-shirt. My vacation in Switzerland seems like ages rather than months ago. Guess it’s time dilation at work again.
Can you see a ghostly Matterhorn in the background? Seems like the summit is made out of clouds. How small are man’s endeavours compared to nature’s.
Took this panorama not with the new iPhone 5 but with an M9 and stitched together the resultant photos using PTgui. I made sure there was quite a bit of overlap between the photos but there are still some artefacts visible if you look closely.
As you can see there were a number of folks on the mountain at Gornergrat Station in the Swiss Alps. Since the Matterhorn was covered in clouds for the full hour I was there I took photos of Monte Rosa instead. Apparently those rock piles in the foreground are called “cairns“.
At 3000 meters in altitude the view will literally take your breath away. If I recall correctly it was 12 degrees celsius in the middle of summer! Can’t wait to go back there and do some hiking in the future.
