Gletscher

Image converted to B&W by Nik’s Silver Efex. Photo taken from a cable car while going up to the Gletscher skiing centre, altitude 3250 meters. Gletscher, meaning glacier, is situated just below Mt Olperer (3476 mt), in the Austrian Alps. We have friends who hiked up from Hintertuxer, a 1750 meter climb! Sorry, that’s not for me; I prefer the cable car and spend my spare time taking photos.

Gletscher belongs to the following groups:

Amateur Photographers' Association, Austria, Black and White Photography, Landscape Photography, Scenery, The Beginners' Corner and Travel and Adventure

Know it well, went a few years ago skiing and we had to ski through the clouds. Brings back good memories, nice shot.

Great shot. I’m with you, I would have taken the cable car too …

Thanks, Steve. At last I met someone on RB who’s been there. Then you know how beautiful the place is. I got four more photos of the general area here on RB.

Thanks again, Erhan. It took me a long time to learn to “see”. But, when I did learn to “see” I started taking good photos :)
