Obscured By Clouds

A brief glimpse of the odd, stumpy structure that crowns the pinnacle.

A photo of a mountaintop under a cloudy sky with large cyan patches. There's strong sunlight from the right. The foreground is uneven and dark rock ridges, bare of snow and ice but with unusual vertical fingers of rock sticking up from the edge. Behind this is a wide expanse of cracked and sculpted ice, clean and white with blue shadows. In the centre of the shot is the pinnacle. On the right it is an unusual twin stump of rock, almost like a small butte with a distinct ridge running away from it. On the left is a humped mound, and this appears to be the highest point.
