Alpine Scene by maggiemae

Alpine Scene

The Gondola ascending up to the Mountain hotel through the clouds. Did nothing all day but found a good word game on my phone which appealed to me.
Three good things;
1. Getting sick of too much rich food, breathlessness, pains all over the place - existing on painkillers. Good thing is we are leaving in a day.
2 John keeps saying to very loud Asians who come up for a while and talk SO loudly, Could you speak up please - they can't hear you in London"! Unfortunately very few know English!
3. We could have been angels in these cloudy heights but I didn't feel like one - not even a grumpy angel!
What a fantastic view!

Wow great shot of a wonderful view
January 12th, 2018  
Wow.like a movie. What a few.hope you feeling better..i cant cope with too much rich food nowadays with my hiatus hernia thing.

@brennieb That's probably what I've got. I'll feel better when I can get more oxygen into my lungs, Brennie!
January 12th, 2018  
Ooh what a view despite it being disrupted by the mist and clouds. Maggie I hope you will soon feel better after you have descended from the stunning heights !!
January 12th, 2018  
Lovely pop of colour. John has a wicked sense of humour!
January 12th, 2018  
Love the view. Hope you feel better soon.
January 12th, 2018  
That's a very atmospheric shot. Hope you feel better soon.
January 12th, 2018  
A fabulous shot but I hope will feel better at low altitude - maybe your noisy tourists will stay up there!!
January 12th, 2018  
Amazing up there, isn't it. I was on Mount Corvach once and the scenery was fantastic. It was in Summer then. I wonder how people could live up there in Winter.
January 12th, 2018  
What a view!
January 12th, 2018  
@beryl Its the lack of oxygen that brings on a lot of side effects, Beryl. Now down at Lucerne and I can once more take a deep breath!
January 12th, 2018  
@judithdeacon Today there were 3 ladies all talking loudly into their phones- everyone could hear! And they weren't Asian!
January 12th, 2018  
@k1w1 I'm sure its just he lack of oxygen - so when we descend from the clouds, it will be a relief!
January 12th, 2018  
Wow amazing shot. Altitude can be a bugger can't it. Hope you get some relief as you descend.
January 12th, 2018  
@onewing Never thought about it when I booked, Babs! However the experience was worth it!
January 12th, 2018

January 12th, 2018

January 12th, 2018

Lovely pop of red in all that snow and cloud.
January 12th, 2018  
Hope you are feeling better soon,the scenery is breathtaking, just a shame you are not enjoying it. Nowadays I can’t eat many meals out on a trot 2 days are about my limit and I would be on starters for maincourses! Hyiatus hernia too!!
January 12th, 2018  
Wow - cool image.

Great capture
January 12th, 2018  
Boo

January 12th, 2018  
@craftymeg Starters are now my limit! Imagine being served 5 courses! I really suffered in spite of only eating 1/2 of all!
January 12th, 2018  
@suesmith one of the reasons I chose to post this one, Sue!
January 12th, 2018

January 12th, 2018  
Great capture
January 12th, 2018  
Wow...stellar capture and pov
January 12th, 2018  
Great capture. And I had to chuckle at your depiction of the noisy visitors. Having spent significant time in eastern Asia I can appreciate your frustration. Plus it's nice to know that for once the Americans aren't being singled out as the loud ones. ;)
January 13th, 2018  
Looks like a scene from a thriller movie.
January 13th, 2018  
@stray_shooter You are so right, Ron! However there was one American lady in a group who seemed to want everybody to listen to her!
January 13th, 2018  
Very dramatic...
January 13th, 2018  
almost makes me dizzy! excellent POV ~ fav
January 13th, 2018  
What an amazing view and shot. What a shame you feel bad. I suffer from altitude sickness too and it is no fun. Hope you go lower and feel better soon. Fav for this great image

January 13th, 2018

January 13th, 2018  
@jesperani didn’t know it was altitude sickness until the facts came in! Now I’ve got an excuse for the
