[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi all,
This is Eiger shot from Murren.

The Eiger is a notable mountain in the Bernese Alps, rising to an elevation of 3,970 m (13,025 ft.) It is the easternmost peak of a ridge-crest that extends to the Mönch at 4,107 m (13,474 ft.), and across the Jungfraujoch to the Jungfrau at 4,158 m (13,641 ft.). The peak is mentioned in records dating back to the 13th century but there is no clear indication of how exactly the peak gained its name. The three mountains of the ridge are sometimes referred to as the Virgin (German: Jungfrau, lit. "Young Woman" - translates to "Virgin" or "Maiden"), the Monk (Mönch) and the Ogre (Eiger). The name has been linked to the Greek term akros, meaning "sharp" or "pointed", but more commonly to the German eigen, meaning "characteristic".

Again I used a polarizer to get the rich blue sky

Hi Goutham,
another brilliant mountain shot.
I love how the snow is blowing off the top, it takes me straight back to my skiing holiday earlier in the year :-)
Very sharp and clear.
Excellent exposure.

Well done,
Joe
