Backpacking in the Alps

 

Imagine waking up in the morning and rolling out of your tent. Your eyes aren't quite open yet and you're still a bit sleepy and then you look up and the first thing you see is this...

Here is the lake where we were staying. We were there on the first weekend of the year when fishing was allowed which turned out to be unfortunate because it was a bit crowded.
We could here the bleeting and bells of sheep (sounded like an out-of-control bell choir) at our campsite but we didn't actually see any of the creatures until our hike out. All those little white dots are sheep!
Here is a view of some snowy mountains that we saw on our way out (Mt Blanc or one of its neighbors).
