Aiguille du Fruit

Yesterday was another very mild day, but not so sunny. The snow was very soft, becoming slushy in the afternoon, and so a long lunch on the mountain at the Cave des Creux was called for, with our friends Joan and Keith. This image was taken at our meet point on top of Saulire - and in fact, looking back, my previous two 365 posts were taken standing roughly at the same spot - just with very different viewpoints!

I found a 50 euro note in the snow at the top of the Suisses chairlift. What to do? I asked the couple in front of me. It wasn't theirs. So I handed it to the staff in the hut at the top of the lift. I wonder what will happen to that money? I'll never know, but I do know that I couldn't keep it.
Lovely pop of colours on an otherwise grey day, the mountain still looks fabulous though. You got me very curious about the money now, I am thinking all kinds of thoughts ;-)

It has been that kind of year on the slopes. Great skiing first thing in the morning, then slushy in the afternoon or brittle ice. Long lunch a good plan! I wonder where that money will end up?

I like the pops of colour on the signs. I’m thinking that money would have stayed in the staffs pocket

Nice piv to include the sign posts.. hopefully your honesty will end up getting donated to a local mountain rescue or such like.

@julzmaioro I'd like to think so. At least there were two of them in the hut - so they'd have to discuss it, at least!

You're a good person. And amazing how people are surprised when you do the right thing - like the woman at the chocolate shop when I pointed out she'd rung up on the till the price for a smaller box than I was buying. Sad to think that people don't always do the right thing. This is a great view

Fabulous shot from the top of the world.I wouldn't have been able to keep the money either. Maybe it will go to some mountain rescue unit

Such great view

Wonderful, I would feel like I was on top of the world..
Do hope that money goes to a 'good cause.' after you handing it in.

It’s good to be up there with you, such a view. Fruit needle? Sounds like an interesting place.
