Another tragedy. Here are some photos of the area taken a few months back. The avalanche occurred in the mountains almost directly left of the first photograph. The roadway is the A82.

Beautiful country--but isn't it kind of dangerous driving on the wrong side of the road?

well, i was nearly taken out by a german guy who was having trouble making the switch--more difficult i suppose because he was in his left-hand drive car. but apart from remembering to reverse certain reflexes (e.g. when entering or turning onto a road), it isn't so bad.

I thought driving over there was really weird on empty roads like in the photo - with no other traffic to keep you in check it's easy to find yourself turning into the wrong lane.
