Cotton Candy sunset (Contax Vario-Sonnar 4.5-5.6/100-300)

            On Mt. Kitzstein looking over to Mt. Wendelstein.

I had been hoping for a view above the clouds, but when I reached Mt. Heuberg's summit, I was still in the clouds - for the second time in a row.
I decided to try and hike over to Mt. Kitzstein, the higher peak of the same mountain. It's about 20 minutes, some meters down and 100 m back up. It was worth it, albeit only briefly. I got to take a few shots, but after only about 2  minutes I got swallowed by the clouds again. This is the only keeper, but I like it a lot with its mellow, pastel look, where even the sunset is muted by the white veil.
