The Monch

A view of the Bernese Alps in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The big peak on the right is the Monch (meaning monk in German), and on the left, barely in frame, is the back side of the Eiger, one of the most famous mountains in the Alps. This shot was taken at the lake Grauseeli on the way to the top of the Schilthorn above the small mountain village of Gimmelwald.

Canon 40D, EF-S 55-250mm �/4-5.6 IS

Gimmelwald, Switzerland

Photoburst is a photo of the day contest focusing on Travel Photography.

Everyday (from the 1st until the 28th), among all images uploaded by our contributors, we publish a photo of the day (POTD).
Every week (on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th), among all POTDs of the preceding week, we select a photo of the week (POTW).
On the 30th we select the best POTW as photo of the month (POTM).

The author of the POTM receives:
a US$50 gift certificate to Kiva + (in even-numbered months only) an invitation to be Photoburst's guest editor in the following month!
