Gelmersee (or Lake Gelmer) is a lake in Bernese Oberland, Switzerland.
The lake can be reached by Gelmerbahn (funicular) from the base on the Grimsel Pass. The funicular's track with a length of 1,028 meters has a maximum inclination of 106% and is the steepest in the world.
I saw this small stack of rocks down by the lake and had to risk falling in and getting wet, but in the end I was very pleased with the capture. I added the top rock to make it a stack of four. It took my wife and I 3.5 hours to hike around the lake. ( including lunch break and time for photos)

Amazing color and clarity and I love the subtle diagonal created by the lines of the rock stack, the shadowed side of the foreground boulder, the large boulder in the lake and the incline of the mountainside on the right. Very well seen and taken. #6185480Renee Doyle July 16, 2008
