Dramatic results by rotating the pic


Noo! In no way was I suggesting that Andy had rotated the original image, if you look at the picture you can see that the signs all say it is as steep as it looks. I simply made a "funny" adjustment as it is the funny picture thread.

Sorry Andy if this goes wrong.

I stand corrected, on closer inspection I noticed the ski tracks would have been above Andy in FQs pic & they are not, so it would seem Andy's pic is kosher, personally I would not see this scenario as amusing, quite the reverse in fact

Brooksy - when I first looked at Andy's photo my brain couldn't accept that he'd been trying to ski down something as steep as that, and I did wonder if he'd rotated the picture. But when I looked more carefully I could see that he had indeed been trying to ski down a precipice

But it is reassuring to know he had someone with him (the one who took the photograph), and obviously he survived the incident because happily he is still here to tell us all about it

There were 5 of us plus our guide, you aren't allowed to go there without a guide. The steep bit is right up the top just below the list.
