John said...: Pretty rugged, nice shot. It's one of those where you would like to see a colour shot alongside for comparison.; 05 October, 2009 11:18
pescado del dia said...: Fantastic photo: a good job of grays and contrasts. The copy is very appropriate!; 05 October, 2009 18:42
Martina said...: Thank you for all your nice comments :-).

Shelley, the Alps are 500 km from where I live - only some steep vineyards in my "neck of the woods" (have to google this .... interesting expression)

kobico, lol. You do heliskiing? ;-)

John, in fact the original coloured one is ... bad. No contrast, no colours. But you are right, the mountains usually are made for colour photos, I have a hard time chosing some for b/w conversion.; 05 October, 2009 20:21

AB said...: Nice dramatic crest - it looks like the boots at least made it this far.; 06 October, 2009 17:45
Unknown said...: I could never justify the cost of heliskiing, Martina, but I did don snowshoes on occasion in my younger days to be able to ski the less-frequented areas.; 07 October, 2009 10:44
Martina said...: kobico, wow! I do not know if one could get up there with snowshoes or touring skis but it must be an amazing experience. wow again!; 07 October, 2009 20:35
-me said...: M - now I remember how I found you. I think through Aileni. . . who it seems has disappeared.

Your photos were very different a year ago. I have to think about this.; 12 October, 2010 04:07
Martina said...: -me, yes, one day the blog and profile simply vanished.

Hm, I have to think about this, too. I have some ideas about this, though.; 13 October, 2010 21:02
