Good mountain weather the young day seems to promise. Sunlight floods the peaks.
But beware: Beyond the tree border the mountain has his own rules. Quickly the weather can change.
Dachstein, Upper Austria.

Many thanks for your nice attention to this picture, which put it on TT! I am very honored.
Every time I think your photography could not be more spectacular, you prove me wrong. Beautiful composition, wonderful image and situation well captured.
Jerome I presume you are a mountain climber...? You seem to get right there in amongst it. I love how the fluffy clouds help delineate the interesting line of the rocky mountain top across the image.
The Canberra balloon spectacular starts next week and I am looking forward to capturing the balloons. My photos won't be as spectacular as this shot though.
@hrs I'm not an extreme climber. I'm sometimes on fixed-rope routes, but do not go on very difficult tours. I prefer mountain hiking with as little equipment as possible. So you are the most free, also have less to drag and can enjoy the mountains much more.
Thanks for your nice visit!
Jerome, superlatives for your work have been overworked (justifiably) and lesser ones, no point..... i've been sat here a good 10 minutes absorbed in the intricate details/light/space/atmosphere and cannot find the words..
@jorlam Thank you, Jorlam, for your kind visit!
It makes me humble when I read how much you dedicated yourself to my picture. It really touches me very much. Thank you so much! My best greetings to Huddersfield - must be a beautiful town. There are certainly very nice places for hiking in Yorkshire.
I'm sure those people up there are getting some lovely images of their own, but I LOVE this that you've taken from below! I must ask again, since you're photography is so excellent and you go to so many places others may never got to see, are your photos published in any magazines? If not, they certainly should be! National Geographic, Conde Naste Traveler and any ski magazines are the first to come to mind! So OK, now you can leave me a reply and thank you!
@tskipper Thank you, Tami!
My tours usually last only one day. My job is very demanding, unfortunately I have too little time for the mountains. I always go in the dark and reach the mountains in the first twilight. So I can take the whole day for a hike.
@Weezilou Dear Louise, excuse me for being late. Thanks a lot for your comment!
It flatters me very much that you suspect my pictures in such well-known magazines. But I have never offered a photo of me to a magazine. I have no corresponding contacts and I do not know how to proceed here. But I guess it's very difficult.
Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you all for your nice comments!
A ride with a balloon over the Alps - it might be possible that I do this once. However, it is not a cheap pleasure.
Thanks for your nice visit!
