balancing act on top of La Fiamma (view)

I've been on small exposed summits like this before, but they weren't 8,000' up with views of even higher peaks, glaciers, and alpine lakes. When I spotted a little red dot down in the valley (our tent), I realized this was visible from the campsite. Later that evening I couldn't stop looking up in wonder with a grin on my face, staring at a tiny sliver high up, where the mountains met the sky. --thanks to Bellaitalia for a great shot.
