• Other Location - Rothorn, Switzerland

The Alpine terrain of Switzerland make the country heavily dependent on helicopters for anything from emergency medical support and fire fighting to civil engineering. This Squirrel is seen here delivering under-slung equipment and supplies to a construction project on the higher eastern slopes of the Rothorn above Brienz. (The picture fails to convey the frightening steepness of the slopes from which I had to take this photograph.)
