Do you have fear of heights? - a photo on Flickriver

This photo was taken from the Dom's summit. It's not a place suitable for people with phobia or fear of heights. However, it's a spectacle to be there. You can fill your lungs with fresh air and enjoy the moment.

The Dom is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located between Randa and Saas-Fee in the canton of Valais. With its 4,545 m (14,911 ft) summit it is the third highest mountain in the Alps and the second highest in Switzerland, after Monte Rosa.

Although Dom is a German cognate for 'dome', it can also mean 'cathedral' and the mountain is named after Canon Berchtold of Sitten cathedral, the first person to survey the vicinity.
