$A spectacular series of 5 images recording an especially early incidence of Temperature Inversion in the Grindelwald Valley of the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland, October 2021. Such meteorological events are more common in the depths of winter than early autumn, making these images unique. The extreme, acute angle of the light at this time of year makes these images stand out from the crowd. They are all taken from Grindelwald First (2166m/7009ft) which is reached by one of the world's longest Gondola Cable Cars in the world. he cloud top on this October day in 2021 was at around 6000ft with the base at ground level, closer sea level but not at zero. Temperature inversion results in warm air sitting on top of cold air and keeping the cloud hanging in valleys when in mountainous areas. In these images only the very tallest peaks of the Bernese Oberland can be seen to emerge. The two Alpine massifs clearly visible are (1) in the Haslital Region, specifically Mount Titlis and its surrounding peaks (Images 1 & 4) and in the Jungfrau Region, specifically the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau (Images 2, 3 & 5). Specifically each image is as follows:\nImage 2: The Eiger, Monch & Jungfrau and surrounding peaks with the North Face of the Eiger completely in shadow but emerging from the sea of cloud.
