Just back from 16 days hiking, walking and a bit of climbing in Switzerland, one part I know very well, the Juagfrau region, but I have never been to Zermatt and the mighty Matterhorn.

This was taken in the Zermatt region whilst on a hike, packing light (mainly wet weather gear) as weather can change very quickly (although the backpack still weighed in at between 15-20kgs) so no chance for any long lenses and so patience and a lot of crawling was required.

That is one very superior marmot..... aloof is an understatement! Very nice earth tones and nicely done.

Looks a little put off by the paparazzi. Like the selective focus a lot; (might consider taking out some of the foreground at the bottom of the image).
Nice work.
