I hope that's not a cliff edge she's standing on? Nice dramatic shot and good composition.

@Mike: yes it is the cliff edge, and yes my wife is still here ;) cheers
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal

Very cool shot! I wonder what the view from up there must be.

@dj.tigersprout: Thank you dj, yes there are loads more, about 400 more but most of them are just holiday snaps. Thank you again :)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
A wonderful, uplifting image, Alun. You are in the area of mountain fighting during the first world war.

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you Michael, yes and a good day out is to go climbing on the metal cables that they attached to the mountain(called via ferratas which means iron way) cheers
@Anthony: Oh yes and a lovely pizza
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
What a gorgeous vista Anthony. Your friend standing gazing down really adds to the majesty of the shot.

The woman helps to understand the real dimension of the canyon. It's magnificent. I can't imagine the view. But, for sure, you spent there a lot of time enjoying it!

@Rui: Thank you very much Rui
