Though we lean upon the same balustrade, the colours of the mountain are different.

Dear Graham,
Could it be possible that this is Difflugia acuminata?

Jan, I think you are probably right - strangely my guide does not illustrate D. acuminata, but the images I find through Google match well.

I will edit my title accordingly.
