I have very much enjoyed your photos, Karl. I am envious of the strength of your cousin Hubert to be able still to enjoy these trips. My kind regards to him, may he continue to make these trips for many years.  8)

Wonderful photos Karl.

Maggi, this respectable age is the result of the Austrian 'Naturburschen' -
If you walk into the mountains for 100 years, you will become very old  ;D

I am sure this is true, Thomas.... what a pity that we cannot all walk in the mountains for one hundred years  :)

I am pleased that you have liked the pictures.
With my cousin I still have gone last winter at approx. 80 cm of snow without skis to his favorite peak. Yes, this is an Austrian nature-boy.
I thank Allen.
