Recordist's notes

Walking downhill on a stony trail. I think we´re on the north side of the mountain top. Going down. Windy. Walking with the clouds. Many people going up and down here, all the time. Even in winter, but then with skis. Good for the balance. Landscape is vast. Norway must be there in the far. A border somewhere. We´re going down. It was a nice tour. Now listening back to a part of that climbing down. I feel the texture of the trail, stones and a little bit muddy here and there. It is many different flowers up here. No fields of flower, but they find their spots. And lichens on the stones and moss in between them. Snow too, in the middle of summer. It´s warm when the wind is not blowing. We´re not far from the gondola lift now. We made it before they close.
