Alpen-Panoramen, Panorama der Alpen

After a night in the nearby Bivacco Bonvecchio, with Edoardo we went on the summit of Cima Sassara to wait for the sunrise. Here is the sight short before that moment.
Short right of the summit cross one meets the prominent snowy triangle of the Presanella, which a few seconds after was going to be the first reached by sunlight. When the Betrachter will reach it as well, may he stop for a moment and dedicate a thought to Martina, a former student of mine, who right one week before was swept down from that mountain by an avalanche, dying at the age of 21.
To her, and to the tremendous sorrow of her junior sister (among my students as well) went my thought for the most of an incredible day spent in face of that summit, the Presanella, of which incidentally I have plenty of wonderful memories.
How strange is our love for these objects, the mountains, who - perfect interpreters of the fate - can decide to give you everything, like here, or - with the same ease - decide to steal you everything!
