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

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
???
