Above Arolla …

… my alpine spiritual home from the Aiguille de La Tza Hut. I am visiting Joan after a long break. She is 88 now, nearly blind and we have been friends for 52 years when I came here for my first Alpine climbing season. More about Joan https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/3661693. This morning I went to the beautiful, but glacial devastated valley of the Mont Mine Glacier (extra). I go there in the autumn usually and it was quite sobering to see the rate of glacial melt at this time of the year.

Second extra of the biggest Martagon Lily I have ever seen, so many heads!

Just caught up on the tennis news, feeling sorry for Andy Murray after all he has gone through, no doubt the old gladiator will return!
