The mighty Matterhorn

The mighty Matterhorn
The Matterhorn (Monte Cervino) at 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) is certainly an impressive mountain, in fact one of the highest in the Alps and Europe. This Eastern face is taken from Switzerland near the iconic village of Zermat, some time back in 1986 whilst on a skiing holiday in Cervinia on its Italian side. A Fuji slide conversion, dormant after its projection many years ago and then conversion in 2012, until today.

As always, better full screen.

This has scanned beautifully but it must have been a perfect shot on the days as well.

Thanks for this Toz. Yes, I too could see a lot of deterioration. I used a few types though and some makes were better than others. the ones that are still perfect are the Fuji and the worst are the Agfa. My Kodachrome being somewhat mixed. I wanted to scan all my slides and did so when I retired in 2012 before they deteriorated further. Glad you liked this and sorry for late reply.

Thanks Colin. It was a great day and I captured this on a mixed ski and cable-car trip over the mountains from Civinia in Italy to Zermatt in Switzerland. I was on skis when I took this. The scan went well but the slide looked a little bluish I presume because of the height and UV. Glad you liked it.
