The Matterhorn
From the centre of Zermatt - 8.30am this morning. It has made an appearance at last!
It's an iconic sight from the streets of Zermatt, when not in cloud. If you've not been there you should try to visit sometime. Most people speak English as it's easier for them to learn than Japanese. Expect to see many Japanese people, but not on the glaciers, where poorly equipped English may be the biggest hazard.

I had plans to climb that 20 years ago and then I became a dad instead and that was that. I still want to do it :)
As snaps on the Blackberry go, that's pretty stunning!
Have to say I'm in awe and a little speechless. Wow. Stunning.
