About 60 minutes into our hike, we arrived at Lac de Ballon.

Most of my hiking trip was alone, but my friend Charles was able to take the day off from work to join me for this hike in the Alsace region of France.

I rarely take pictures of myself, but here's a block of too many selfies, as snapped on my camera by Charles.

When Charles and I had approached the summit in 2009, it was engulfed in cloud.  Now we had a cloudy day, but we didn't hike in cloud.

I presume there are descriptive panels intended for these frames, perhaps describing the views. But the panels were discontinued, or seasonally removed, or ???
