Peak above the clouds / Gipfel über den Wolken

I do not really have an idea which mountain peak peeps out of the clouds.

Ich habe nicht wirklich eine Ahnung, welcher Berg hier durch die Wolken lugt.

These pictures were made on the Mangart mountain, just before the front lens of the 24-105mm lens is iced up. The view is about north or north-west and it may be the Monte Traunig, which is 2,204 m heigh. If anyone knows for sure or better, please let me know in the comments.

Diese Fotos habe ich auf dem Mangart gemacht, und zwar kurz bevor die Frontlinse des 24-105mm Objektives dann vereist ist. Die Blickrichtung ist ungefähr nach Norden oder Nordwesten und es dürfte sich um den Monte Traunig mit 2.204 m Höhe handeln. Falls es jemand sicher oder vielleicht besser weiß, dann informiert mich bitte in den Kommentaren.

I think these were the last usable pictures of my tour on the Mangart. The other photos look like you're looking through a half-frosted window.

Ich glaube, das waren die letzten brauchbaren Fotos von meiner Tour auf den Mangart. Die anderen Fotos schauen so aus, als ob man durch ein halb vereistes Fenster schauen würde.

As I wrote - a few minutes later my lens iced and the fog covered everything around me, so that I had to go back down to the valley. But I am glad, that I could take some quite nice photos :)

The rest of the photos from this mountain are not so good, because my camera lens was iced, but I'm preparing some posts for next week with other mountain views.

Without gloves I woldn't have had a chance to get back down from this mountain, because the wet fog iced on the rocks and the steel rope, which has been a great help on the steep and exposed parts of the ferrata 😉

@johannpiber You go alone?Wonder what happens if you get an accident. Better be careful and being prepared is always good. I am for the winter, mud, rain so I do not need to walk with my shopping etc and can stay inside... Or can be locked in for some weeks. ❤️

Good morning @wakeupkitty 🙂

Yes, most times I go alone - then I can do what I want, when I want ;) I am looking forward to the winter too, because I like long walks in the snow.
Rainy days are not my favorite neither - on such days I prefer to stay inside and do some photo editing.

Have a great week 🙂

@johannpiber Long walks in the snow? I don't know. It means cold feet. It looks fast dirty too. I have no other option as goin out in the rain. I am mud allover again. I hope all the snow will be yours. Happy day. 💕

If you have not the right socks and shoes you will have cold feet, of course ;)
We have had some rainy days and I stayed inside most of the time - snowing is better, but I don't like rain and mud that much.
I wish you a nice evening and a great weekend, @wakeupkitty, hopefully with some sunshine 🙂

@johannpiber it definitely was a challenge to decent from Mangart through the clouds.

Thank you so very much, @cezary-io 🙂
There have been moments, when the sun was able to shine a bit through the fog and the clouds, and then she painted this soft pastel like colors on the clouds and the sky. But soon after these photos I had to leave the peak and you are right, the way down from the mountain was quite challenging, because the wet fog made some of the rocks slippery.

Me neither, to be honest, although I am curious and when I'm up there next time (next year) I'll certainly find it out ;)

Good morning JJ, have a great day :)

For me it is the last day of this week, because the first of November is an official holiday in Austria 😀
But for the next few hours a lot of work is to do ... real work in my office ;)

It is raining outside and I hope, the weather forecast tells me a place somewhere near, where the weekend stays a bit dry, but on the other hand, I have to prepare some posts, because I don't know if I have the time from Monday till Thursday.
On Monday I drive to Vienna for a long meeting on Tuesday. On Wednesday I have the next meeting at home, which will last until the very late afternoon and the same is planned for Thursday, but after that, my normal life will hopefully be back ;) lol

Yes, I do hope so too, and I already know, what I'd like to see, but it depends on the time. There's also a chance that I even don't need to go, what I would prefer, but this will be decided on Monday.

I think, I would work more and faster at home - faster, because then I would have more time for other things ;) lol

Good morning JJ :)

I have just come back from my scouting tour. I think, if the weather would have been good, it might have been a very nice trip, but all I saw was fog and this white stuff, and the road was mostly a dirt road in the woods. I haven't seen the sun, and at home it is the same gray in gray ;)
Maybe some of the foggy photos came our nice, but the weather was all in all just bad. Never mind, I said before, that it would be a scouting tour only.

Hope you have a nice day and see the sun 🙂

The weather is not better today, but I don't mind, because I have had a very nice walk in a forest at a reservoir, where I haven't been for quite a few months. So, It was a good day so far, thank you 🙂

I haven't been in a Casino for ages. Most times I win a bit in the beginning, but later I always leave the Casino with less money than I had before anyway ;)

It was raining yesterday afternoon and also today, and it is quite cold (6C / 43F).
I think, today's visit at the graveyard where my parents-in-law are will be rather short. I don't know, if "All Souls' Day" and "All Saints' Day" are known in the US though.

I have been on the Mangart mountain, @janton, the majestic mountain you have commented about just before 😉
