I enjoyed the pictures immensely!  And I've fallen in love with Ranunculus glacialis... first from books and now again from these fine photos.  How extraordinary to see such switchbacking paved roads (photo # 11)!  (Like Lombard Street in San Francisco taken to the nth degree!)

I hope, you like to see some pictures from the mountains. Unfortunately at 4000m above sea level without plants. But the views are tooked breath away.

1. View from Aguille du Midi - Grande Jorasses,  Dent du Géant
2. Mont Blanc du Tacul, Mont Maudit, Mont Blanc
3. Matterhorn and Monte Rosa
4. View from Punta hellbroner - Val Veny and Des Ecrins in the background
5. Snow crack - compare with footprints. They make impression!

Armin,

I was in Durnand at dawn. I have feeled this day unwell. And I have went about 500m and had to come back.
Some days earlier I was in Almbachklamm near Berchtesgaden, it was beautiful too.
My friends, that are first time in the Alps were delighted. They have thought every day, they see nothing more beautiful and every day was surprise for them.

Lovely pictures Ewelina, many thanks for posting them. A King's ransome would not have got me to climb that staircase ;D
