looking down

I think this is the best one I took that really captures the height, that's Chamonix in the valley below, a whole town! And the Aiguille du midi cable car station below me. with the combination of the staggering height and the thin air, it made us all very light headed. I saw some elderly people passed out in the corridors, unable to get enough air to breath, and small children running around and blacking out, it was horrible, and the guides just stood there with their oxygen tanks, laughing. There should definatley be a health warning somewhere... or something.
