A glimpse of sunshine at the top of Mount Pilatus. I was really enjoying the fact that it was snowing up there but I'm glad it stopped long enough for me to get a few shots like this. Whenever I look at it I can only say wow...

Beautiful Josh. I love all of it but especially the way the clouds are actually framing the whole scene.

Thanks everybody for all the wonderful comments. This picture was taken on foot from near the top of the mountain. I guess I should mention that Mount Pilatus is in the Swiss Alps. I'm really glad everyone's enjoying the view from up there :). Thanks for all the great votes!
