The closest I've got to the top is going up the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi platform that sits at about 3840 metres, opposite the summit! I've been up a few times now and each time was terrific!S.

Perilous places really lure- so much that it's easy to forget they can cause one to perish. <BR/><BR/>(I'm not trying to sound morbid but I do daydream about mountains quite a bit because outside my windows it's all flat). <BR/><BR/>I think I'd like to borrow that picture, if that's ok with you.unarexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16899161531166793753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-1169561063494819172007-01-23T15:04:00.000+01:002007-01-23T15:04:00.000+01:00Thanks Debi,Sometimes messages for ourselves can b...Thanks Debi,<BR/>Sometimes messages for ourselves can be good for others too. I thought of this as I was risking my life at high speed, forgetting for just a moment how one brakes when skiing!S.

We take about two hours to get to the slopes from our place here in Lyon. Winter needn't be gloomy! <BR/>By the way, I love the "hanging on to the lamplight" idea. :)<BR/><BR/>Moon,<BR/>Sorry if the photos turn you green! :)<BR/>I'm sure you have photos of your side of the frisbee that would make me green too!<BR/>Ah, there's nothing like dreaming about foreign places. :)S.

And so subtly put!<BR/><BR/>I'm really enjoying my dreams but I am taking my time. More caution first. Analyse the options. And visualation as you said to Debi is all-important. It keeps the excitement going.<BR/>I think meeting writers like yourself on the blog, has added to the bliss.<BR/><BR/>My thought would be that as long as there's no room for bitterness or cynicsm (ie. blizzard), the heart will afford to be merry and hang on to the lamplight.<BR/><BR/>Truly, a lovely post today. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
