f/20.0, 1/125s, 18mm focal length, ISO 100.
Created at Aiguille Du Midi above Chamonix, France; launching point of Mont Blanc climbers. Photo was taken at 7:38 am. on July 12, 2012. It is unlikely that these alpine climbers were aware that 2 hours prior to their departure an Avalanche on Mount Maudit, which they will pass on their way to the Mont Blanc summit, claimed the lives of 9 climbers and injured 12. The victims most likely started from this point a day or two prior to this team. My heart goes out to the family of those who lost their lives... may they find a little solace in the fact that they died doing what they loved.

Great Tragedy though
