Very impressive shot and excellent quality!
Thank you and thank you for noticing! Yes, the G90 resolves very nicely. In the original I can see plenty of hikers and climbers and what they're wearing as well as all the summit crosses, even on Laercheck (the one in the back on the left). For instance, there are a few climbers on the face of this tooth-shaped rock, above the grassy slopes on the right.

Here's something different: An empty market. Quite poor in terms of quality (since shot with a projection lens) but I liked the mood and colors:
Even before I read you text, I was going to say: Nice mood! In part that's due to the very warm color balance which is fitting for this scene. I imagine it to be late in the afternoon, the crickets are chirping, the warmth is very pleasant by now, and it's time to fire up the camping grill. I imagine this is on Corsica as well?
Wonderful light, Ross. This looks like it is the afterglow bathing the faces of the red rock in it. The minutes after sunset in winter provide the best light, incredible shades of red, purple and pink in the east where the glow still has the power to light up the rocks (or snow) facing west. Or is it actually the sun still painting the rocks?

Thanks, Rolf. You called it correctly, it’s the afterglow creating the light on the red cliffs, not direct sunlight.
A couple from Glacier. You know what was weird about Glacier on this visit? Didn't see any mountain goats or bears, but in a single day, we spotted fourteen wedding photography sessions going on at overlooks along Going to the Sun road. Fourteen! One overlook had five going at the same time, all spaced out about 25m from each other. Felt very industrialized.
When I went out to Sun Point (second shot below), there were three wedding photo sessions happening there, plus one engagement photo session. Felt unreal. Never encountered so much in a national park all at once like that.
