Is it my poor old eyes or is there an outline of a human face here?

Thérèse ^club

Ce doit être très dur de remonter sur ce sourcil ! Magnïfique cliché

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Thérèse ^club

It took them a while, Therese but they were very good. I was transfixed! I was a climber once too, although not quite at this level, and felt their every struggle.

Doug,
Therese,
Tone,
Thank you all. Totally natural, Tone and yes, it looks like a guardian of the mountains from the age of giants!
I watched the climbers for an hour - from bottom to top. They seemed experienced but even so ...

This grumpy giant is most unimpressed with the folks climbing under his hat. ;-)

A big face, Andy, seems almost scoplito and yet its form is natural. I see that there are climbers, we hope that do not tickle the nose, because if they are sneezing for their are trouble. ;-))
Hello, compliments. Giancarlo

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Giancarlo Ticozzi ^club

They did risk that, Giancarlo because they went up the side of his nose!

I see the face too Andy. I'd rather abseil down this overhang than climb up ~~~ All the best ~ Nick

Thank you Jordi. Yes he is the Guardian of the Mountains. A giant of the Olden Times turned to stone by the Gods for disobedience, frivolity, insulting a Hero or some such!
