For an hour or so I got on with things and just enjoyed the privilege of such a view, then something struck me: it really was so fine that it was why I have a good camera.  That view above is a telephoto view away toward the head of the valley.  I particularly like that effect when the moisture in the air, and the rather dead, grey light through the thick high snow clouds washes out most colour and turns things into indistinct shapes.  Here&#8217;s some more of the &#8216;photos as I pulled a fleece on and stepped out onto the terrace.  As usual, click on the images and you should get a larger view and can scroll through them. You should see a short explanatory caption of you hover over an image too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-responsive-lightbox-gallery\"><div class=\"rl-gallery-container rl-loading\"
