Out of Kaprun, the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, highest surfaced mountain pass in Austria.
This is what we were supposed to see
What we saw
and a lot of snow
Above my urinal at the summit...
I wondered what they were selling.
It's OK as long as you don't get it in your open wounds or mucus membranes.

At the Lucknerhaus, perched on a hillside at the foot of the Grossglockner, highest peak in Austria, we saw this...
Well... actually we saw this tourist billboard..
The apparently real mountain was not to be seen
(That's Susan in the corner)
Bits of blue appeared but the mountain didn't
There was a farm and some cows on the hillside
They're like mountain goats, grazing on steep pitches.
This one is on a road and I took a picture anyway.
I once saw a group of Chinese tourists taking pictures of a chipmunk.
Larch are a high alpine species, growing up to the treeline.
In the morning it had snowed
Susan went looking for Grossglockner
The clouds never lifted, so we moved on toward Passo Giau.
Austrians take their woodpiles seriously
In Italy the weather began to clear and we stopped at one of Reinholt Messner's mountain museums.
There are six- this by Zaha Hadid
Paragliders were twirling like turkey vultures
The iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo
Above Passo Giau
With Pordoi, it's the highest pass in the Dolomites
You can hike out across the high meadows for miles
