Next week many eyes will toward the Italian Alps and the Winter Olympics in Turin. This view also shows an Alpine vista - but here the snow is only sunshine.

Assembled from 20 streams captured on August 25 of 2005 through my 10" mak at f30 (reduced here about 65%). Altogether about 120 stacks were aligned and combined to make the mosaic.

best wishes -
Alan

A beautifull artwork Alan. Excellent processing, I can't see a single saturated pixel. Thanks for sharing!

Clear skies,
Oliver
