The climbers show the scale well Herb! It has scanned really well.
An excellent mono shot and the sky looks fab against the snow!
Happy Wednesday. Rosa.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Indeed it does Rosa. The sky, I remember was a deep blue on this day so high up. The climbers, might have been repairing or preparing something here. Glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, we here in Britain sometimes forget the spectacular Alps we have nearly on our doorstep. Good to see you here again and maybe it is time for your to travel somewhere just as spectacular again too.

Superb! The quality of t his scanned image is a great reflection on the quality of the original photo Herb. Beautifully captured.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Yes this has survived well Keith. I still have a great deal of old slides digitalised but there is a limit to how many I can post here. I pity you your acrophobia as I have always enjoyed the views from high. Good that you found another to enjoy just the same.

Keep safe. Herb

Great shot Herb went up the Jungfraujoch when we stayed in wengan and went up to the Observatory but not this way we went up on the train then the lift thanks for the memories..

Herb Riddle club has replied to TOZ club
Glad you like this shot. I actually visited Wengen on at least four separate holidays and the three peaks of The Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch were always a great lure. I think I had gone up to the Jungfraujoch twice in total. A great area of which I long to re-visit.

Keep safe. Herb

Wonderful picture.
You give it the thumbs up anytime, but 1983 was three years too late for me.
I already was back home.
