Re: I see them

Hello Hans
and thank you for the visit.
It is a panoramic picture made ​​up of two shots, perspective was bad and PanoramaMaker had great difficulty in uniting the two frames.
While we waited for our turn on the falls, I got near the tower of rock that you can see in this photo, so as to achieve one overview of the wall (believe me it is a really beautiful place).
That day I had a lot of fear, from high came off pieces of ice as big as boots, and they came down also to two ice screws (two bolides).
In the nearby valleys you could hear all the time the roar of avalanches.
Like I said it is a beautiful place but too worrying (personally I was looking forward to finish and get out)
All the best.
Roberto.
