Cylindre du Marboré (3325 m) - a photo on Flickriver

            First climbed by Henry Russell in 1865. Not a great shot - and I wonder if the manual lens setting was wrong, as the peripheral quality of the image is really poor - but, the clouds had a specific quality over the Marboré, which in turn was delivering waterfalls of fresh water from melt and rain...

An interesting Wiki text:
"Le fait qu'il soit le plus haut massif calcaire d'Europe possède également une flore très unique. Sur les quelque 3500 espèces de plantes vasculaires que l'on trouve dans les Pyrénées , seules 150 sont capables de dépasser 3000 m d'altitude, et parmi celles-ci, 95 ont été localisées dans les 34 "intrusions" du massif du Monte Perdido et à proximité. Seuls les trois points des Gabietos en rassemblent une demi-centaine."

The Gabietos of the text are after the Brèche de Roland, so a little way from the Cylindre, and closer to the Tailllon, but they are from the same sedimentary massif, and the data remains stunning. Even quite late in the season - June, July - snow is melting at high altitude, and blooms of flowers can be seen on the wet mats of new green. By August the landscape on the Spanish side can seem dry, brown and, but for the occasional spring, very mineral.
