Glockner Group, a photo from Salzburg, West

Photographer's Note

Snow-capped peaks in the middle from left to right: Sinnwelleck (3261 m) and Fuscherkarkopf (3331 m)

The Fuscherkarkopf, sometimes also written Fuscher-Kar-Kopf in German and formerly also called the Fuschereiskarkopf, is one of the twin peaks of a mountain in the Glockner Group in the centre of the main mountain chain (Mittleren Tauernhauptkamm) in the High Tauern, a range in the Austrian Central Alps. The mountain lies right on the border between the Austrian states of Salzburg and Carinthia. The main peak is 3,331 metres high, but the northwest summit is only 3,252 metres high. The two peaks are about 500 metres apart and linked by a curved firn-covered ridge. Further sharp, prominent ridges run away to the northwest and west, forming the main crest of the Tauern. To the southwest the Heiligenblut Open Face (Heiligenbluter Freiwand) branches off, a mighty side ridge that starts as the southeast ridge (S㥣ostgrat) at the Fuscherkarkopf. The northwest summit has a great, 650 metre high West Face (Westwand), that used to be covered with firn, but today is covered with loose rock slabs. The mountain is easy to reach from the Hofmanns Hut over the southwest ridge (S㥣westgrat) and offers a good view of the Gro罭lockner and the Pasterze. The peak was first climbed in the 1840s by the hunter, Gregor Maier, known as Badhans, from Fusch.

Hi Piotr,

There is a play between the lighted and sahdowed areas. The point of view is showing the details of the mountains. The good luminosity is enhancing the beauty of the colours. Have a nice day.

Magnificent high-terrain scenery, with summer light and bright sky very favorable and well managed between the shadows on the slopes, Piotr.
Converging diagonals from left to the trough on right gave special effect here.
Bravo & my best regards,
Ike

Bonjour, cher Piotr,
Que la montagne est belle. Ces montagnes prennent des formes belles et inqui彋antes � la fois.
Neige 彋ernelle au sommet ?, v嶲彋ation bien verte, et flancs de montagne arides.
La d嶨inition est excellente.
Amiti廥.

C'est toujours tr鋊 plaisant d'arriver devant un aussi beau spectacle naturel. Le bas dans l'ombre et le haut dans la lumi鋨e. Un beau ciel bien contrastant.

Amicalement

Hello Piotr,

The sunlight on these mountain slopes has a remarkable effect and seems to make lines of contrasting light and shadows, all leading to the valley floor in the r/h corner of the frame. From here, there is a natural trek to the snow covered pinnacle.
A scene of awesome crags and peaks!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)
