I am so thrilled when I wake up in a hotel room and get a view worth photographing. This was one such morning. I was staying at the delightful Pension Edelweiss in Heiligenblut. The owner had noticed my photography hobby and whilst we were eating breakfast she hurriedly entered and told me to "stop eating NOW", the Grossglockner (Austria's Highest Mountain) had just emerged from the clouds and needed to be photographed.
