I completely forgot to complain about weather, which was pretty nasty recently and only just today turned more-or-less summery; even so, it was very cold and windy where this shot was taken, at 1760 metres altitude:
Also, there was still some snow left here and there; here's some from only 1065 metres altitude (which could possibly be a record low, for summer), just in the centre of the dry stream, below the limestone block (and no, it isn't limestone - it is snow indeed):
Oh, and I also forgot to comment on yesterdays football matches. Well, you know the results by now, and you also know by now that the USA even finished better than England, this time around (they're both out at quarters, however the US won their group while the English didn't): and that's a first as far as I know.
Pity, really, that England again lost against Germany, aided by the referee of course as the match would have continued differently had it been equal scores at half time, but England anyway didn't really show much quality game in the second half, or so our commentators said: I didn't see it except for the last minutes which were already boring, as by a score of 4:1 it was all done and dusted.
So the Germans again prove to show their best form when it counts most. Very well then, so be it. I still can't support the German team, that's outright impossible. :D Anyway, my favourite for the title will soon be life on TV; I'm quite positive that they will proceed to the quarters but what matters even more is to show some good play, to build up confidence for the match against Germany - after all, the mindset is essential for good teamwork.
