Stuck on the mountain would have been better - I think
When we told our wives the tale they both agreed with what we were thinking.

Encased in the gondola inside a giant frozen snowball - suspended and bobbing on a whitened frost covered cable like a huge ice lolly?

The mind bogglith
But this happened to a cable car full of people on the mountainside who stopped by a snow machine!

I know Robin ... and I've seen a psychiatrist!   He simply said; "No hope" ...

Don't go there, Robin ... he's a croconut!!!  (and from Norfolk!!!)   

[Ragged Robin]

Well if they are both croconuts then they would probably go croconuts together

We stayed calm and were glad to be alone in the gondola .... now can you think who (we) would be glad was NOT sharing our experience?  
Perhaps you would need to know us better but maybe there is a married man out there who can identify the answer?

[Ragged Robin]

This getting to be a real cliff hanger!(nudge,nudge, )

OK so you're getting bored with two men in a gondola  
Here is perhaps a better puzzle.
A Valaisian plant but what is the connection with the Butterfly which started this thread off?  (Double points if you can work out the town below

[Anthony Darby]

Looks like Helianthemum sp., but I can't think of a connection because no apollos feed on it?

I've been searching for other connections with the Apollo butterfly and thought maybe laying of eggs but no - seems it likes Fumarialeae, Scrophularaceae, Crassulaceae genus but not Cistaceae...cannot find another photo like this plant in Valais Alpine Plants so am working on the village below!!!!!

PS is that a gondola behind

[tonyg]

You're not even warm yet .... but perhaps you will be when you make the connection

Yes - a cablecar below.

PS Tony D is right ... it is a helianthemum.

[Ragged Robin]

Is it something to do with the height this helianthemum likes to grow and how high the Apollo butterfly flies with access for feeding in the meadows below?

...or something to do with the sun

Apollo God of the sun...

Helianthemum sun worshipper
