Skywalk #1

skywalk, Dachstein Massiv, Austria

The story behind this image

This is the Dachstein Sky Walk, jutting out over a huge drop, with nothing but a glass panel between you and oblivion.

It was on one of the few clear days when Liz and I took the cable car to the top of the Dachstein glacier during our holiday in Austria last summer, along with most of the rest of the population, or so it seemed.

We spent quite a bit of time just wandering around the cable car station enjoying the panoramic views of mountains, valleys and the glacier. Some folk, however, were just happy to sit on the Sky Walk in the sun.
