    For those asking, the halo at 7.30 is a brocken spectre. Quite often seen in the mountains when the sun is behind and above you, casting your shadow on to clouds below. Often seen as well from an aeroplane just above the clouds.

    Thanks for bringing us along on your spectacular trek. How marvelous to experience the breathtaking views (and even the heebie-jeebies from the heights and steep drops) from the comfort of my chair. A vertical, midwinter hike like this is something I could never undertake, yet I got a taste of it through your generosity and skill. And the cameo by the girls was delightful. We were all duly impressed, even if they weren’t. Happy New Year, Mr. Cotter, and thanks again.
