Hi Ron,

Last summer, I was drawn to the shadow of a grass stalk bent around the
corner of a weathered wooden fence rail.

In French, Aiguille means 'needle' and many of the mountains near
Chamonix use this term in their name. Aiguille du Midi is perhaps the most famous.

Next one is a little large (192K) for dial up folks but its an awesome

But a few fearless, fantastic ice climbers climb the little known
Aiguille du Bellvue in Northern Colorado.

I do, I've got too much time on my hands. :-)
