Ants in the Mountains, a photo from Valais, West

Photographer's Note

Another one from this series of the "Patrouille des Glaciers", another one, where we can see that alpinists are little, very little in the middle of mountains.

This picture is took from "Cabane de Dix". A very nice hut where you can eat very well, and where the boss is very sympatic. This year it's the 100th year that exists this hut. 100 years giving a shelter to alpinism.

In this picture we see a lot of people in the glacier, but they are not the racers of this race. They are just other alpinism men. We have slept here and in the morning we goes to our control post in the race.

Salut Javier
J'ai fait un petit thème sur la patrouille. Je me suis permis d'y ajouter tes photos.
Superbe vue du Cheilon qui est bien blanchi par la neige.
Bonne journée
Christophe

Yes the people here really add to the size and grandeur of the mountains. Well exposed and nicely composed.

Salut Javier,
J'aime bien l'ensemble de cette série d'images qui mettent l'homme à l'échelle de la montagne. L'endroit doit être enivrant mais nous ne sommes guère plus qu'un flocon de neige.
Amitiés
Marc
