This why I am here ...

a statement that works on several levels.

Another fine day out with Hilary. A steep 400m ascent knocked the breath out of me but the view from the top also took my breath away. From the Dent de Valerette a 360 degree mountain panorama is unveiled, including, at close range, the Dents du Midi. So todays choice is Gentiana acaulis, the Trumpet Gentian, with the Dents du Midi as a backdrop.
