Petra Morolz is waking up after a night on top of Schwarzkopf mountain which is a very good but also very dangerous locality with most beautiful Rock Crystals. Picture taken by Rudi Purat in August 2009.
The photo shows Grauleitenspitz in the foreground. Behind it on the right is Ankogel mountain. Left of Ankogel is the southwest face of Schwarzkopf mountain which is known as a locality for excellent Rock Crystals although it is a most dangerous place for collecting minerals because of rockfall.
Morning on top of Schwarzkopf in August 2009. In the background Austria's highest mountain (Großglockner) is rising out of the clouds.
