That photo of mountains was taken from the climbers entrance/exit of the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix, France. It was taken about where the lone individual is in this picture: http://content.cxnx.net/chamonix.net/3316.jpg

Heey¡¡¡ These is not a Pitaya, Pitaya its a fruit from Nopal.
re: Police Oops -
This reminds me of the only traffic accident I saw while in Rome, Italy for an entire summer.
It stuck with me because if you've every witness the traffic in Rome, it seems totally chaotic, yet I almost went throughout the entire summer walking the roman streets without witnessing a single crash.
The one wreck I did see though was a police officer rear-ended a guy driving a Vespa, and even that accident wasn't that serious. The Vespa owner walked away from the collision just fine. I didn't get to see what happened to his moped though.
