Well, thank you, thank you, Jerry

As for my location, I was standing outside the Guido Lorenzi Refuge (2.932 m) in the Monte Cristallo mountains near Cortina d'Ampezzo. Do look at this photo of the refuge and the adjacent Via Ferrata. I did not set foot on the iron rout!!!! Nor did I climb all the way up there. I took two lifts. The firs was a very civilised char lift but the next one was the distinctly dodgy pod- lift which you had to enter while it was still moving. Here it is viewed from near the refuge.

A great shot, Rob. Snowy mountains usually trump rocky mountains but Jerry disagrees!

Great images everyone.

Congratulations to Martin and Rob.

Thank you, but no - a very deserved win. Never visited the Dolomites but will add it to my list, in case I every get to travel again ... . I like your lift shot, too. My pic was taken from the relative comfort of a plane - though it was a small one, flying low. The glaciers in the fjords below calve some of the hundreds of icebergs that sail south to my Province each year (tourism plug). Maybe even the source of the Titanic's.

Enjoyed all the mountains - and thanks to Jerry.
