Brrr! Looks really cold! Very dramatic, formidable, razor-sharp, snow-capped mountain of amazing grandeur, where the changeable, windy, cloudy, snowy weather at this time of year in late-March threatens anyone who dares to climb it at this time of year in late-March(mid-spring), or shall I say mid-winter still for the Californian highlands at Lone Pine! Doesn’t look like spring has arrived there yet, but will probably arrive later on. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
Forbidding grandeur, Andrew.
Thanks for this posting which is appreciated.
