that's a good one, for sure! i'd hate to have the job of monitoring those crevices!
Wow! Great fence, but I think I'll stay far away from there. lol
Ow, that is a good fence for sure. Very necessary. Your lungs are obviously in good shape!
Definitely a great warning sign!! You can be sure I wouldn't go any further!! Beautiful place and a great shot!!
"They" say that fences make for good neighbors, but in this case it's more like fences make for a safe return home. Yikes! Wouldn't want to fall into a deep and cold a crevice... Definitely a good fence!! xoxo Silke
Looks like a blustery day!
I never go close to an edge, warning or not...being a chicken works for me.
I would be careful there, the fences are for a good reason! Great shots, enjoy your day!
HI Andrea This is a very different kind of fence. Good one!
Brrr....just looking at this makes me feel a little colder. Must have been something being up there that high and yes I can see avoiding going past the fencing.
Wow. What a view - and what a reason for a fence. Thank you.
Interesting fence ---and thanks for the info on it. I think, perhaps I wouldn't want to be even close to the fence, just in case they miscalculated where the crevice lies under the snow.
When I was in Cusco, Peru ---also above 11,000 feet ---it didn't take me long to acclimate. But last year when we were in Flagstaff, AZ (7,000-8,000 feet) we didn't feel quite right for several days. I think it was because in Cusco, I was 24, and now I'm approaching 70.
A safety fence!
oh that is high up! i like that first shot with just dots of color...that sign would scare me!
Very cool pictures. Those crevices are dangerous, so better stay away.
Just a little note - the highest mountain in Europe is the Mont Blanc (15,781 ft.).
ahhh ,,, vert interesting. I wonder how their signs say that it is the highest place in Europe. Oh well, 11,000 feet is more than high enough for me. Thanks for the information, Carola :)

My friend and I noted that we had a more difficult time acclimating when we were in Colorado too ... hmmmm, makes me wonder, because we are nearing and past 70 in both places. Food for thought :)
Andrea
Believe me we weren't close to the edge ... note that we hardly made it out the door. When it comes to heights, chicken works for me as well :)

Nice variation on fences! Yet another winter has passed here without me getting up to the snow - I got with about a mile of it this year, but then the rangers closed the road in front of me!!
If you get to Australia I will tell you my version of why the Koala has a small brain - its all to do with energy conservation!

Fence good, falling off the edge not good. Glad they have that there.
Now that's an important fence!
Oh dear, I agree that "chicken" works best for me too. You are so brave to just be up there! It really doesn't matter to me if they are the highest mountain because I would not be climbing it anyway. Maybe in my younger days this would have been a great challenge, but in my older days I like having my feet on the ground at the bottom of the mountain. I must say that your photos from this trip are just wonderful. Now I must shove a few dust bunnies around and think about what's for lunch. You have a fabulous day, hugs, Edna B.
Still counts as fence - to keep the humans safe for sure!
