Very dramatic. I like the smallness of the chopper compared to the size of the cliffs.

Very dramatic indeed! Are those two people on the rock face below the helicopter? Great sense of scale Jim.

I'm glad that some one else is in the chopper and not me.

Jim: That is some good flying and some equally good photography. Striking shot.>=))>

Thanks for the feedback. It was pretty cool to watch the helicopter hovering so close the face of the rock. And yes the two tiny dots above the white stripe are two rescuers.
