Top of the world Photo

Photographer’s Note

Just back from a few days of skiing in Austria. In the Zillertal Arena. Lanersbach, Finkenberg and Mayrhofen offer a great ski-aerea. The weather was changing fast. Clouds and sunny blue skies went on and off. At a height between 2100 and 3250 m. me and my wive had 4 fantastic days. I hope the pictures show some of the beauty. I'll post some more the next days.
At this point you look straight into Italy. Although from here all mountaintops look the same.

Hi Erik
Another post from the Austria
Nicely captured with good angle and getting the slope felt.
You must been standing quite afar since there's a few skier seen from the photo, and they are very very very small.
Cheers and well done, erik.

Hello Erik,
I thougt that the top of the world was either the Everest or St Moritz ;o)
Nice view, I suppose it it from the summit of the summit of the funicular of the Gefrorene Wand?
I intended to go there last summer, but the summit with in the clouds...
Regards,
Didier

Hallo Erik.

Volgens mij ski je daar tegen de flanken van de Olperer. Ik heb deze enkele jaren geleden beklommen in september en was toen al onder de indruk van het landschap.Maar nu ziet het er heel naders uit prachtig.Je kan wel blijven fotograferen.

Groetjes Jos

Hi Erik,
Nice winter view of the mountains! You can almost feel the texture of the snow...
