| Walk: | Schlick 2000, Kreuzjoch, Stubaiblick viewing platform, alpine garden, middle station, meadow, Fulpmes |
| Weather: | Low cloud at high levels with clear views at the middle station |
| Comments: | For the second free day Gillie and I decided to have a restful day with a ride on the gondola to the top station for coffee. After exploring the surrounding area we dropped back down to the middle station out of the low cloud. A very pleasant meadow provided the perfect place for lunch and the numerous flowers gave the opportunity to try different settings on the camera. |
Perhaps not what it seems to say!
Low cloud at the top station
The viewing platform . . .
but no views today
White dryas
Gillie tries out one of the designer seats
Sitting in the alpine garden we have a good view of the nearby cross
Returning to the middle station . . .
Gillie is most upset . . .
when she finds spots the meadow being cut
We find the ideal spot for lunch . . .
and have lots of time . . .
to explore the flowers . . .
and try out different settings on the camera
There are many different species to choose from . . .
but these orchids are really eye-catching
Nature is so clever . . .
and spectacular . . .
in its design . . .
and intricacy
Zooming in on Telfes
Then time for more flowers . . .
and insects
Blue for a change . . .
and a last orchid . . .
and insect
