I couldn't choose between the Mt Ossa shots (2 and 7) and flipped a coin in the end with 2 winning with heads. Sorry to the photographer of 7, could have done with a few more votes. Good work on the high standard of shots everyone. :)

Good shot MJD. Being above the clouds like that makes it look like 5000m peaks.
I bet you were laughing at all the people still in Pelion Hut thinking it was going to be a gloomy day! I would be :)

I was laughing a little. The mist didn't lift all day. Mt Doris came and went - it was clear when I wandered over the top, and Pelion East was clear as well but the Pelion Gap and everything lower didn't get any sunshine that day.
