Chamonix is a gorgeoous town, and this is why!
It is the view you get from the central square!

I was amazed to see that many crow so high up, 3842m high!, they were not really scared of humans as they were after any crumbles we may have. I knew that bird was about to fly, but I almost miss it as it was so cold my hands were freezing!
Pink Mont Blanc

May 2011 – France, Chamonix
As I was enjoying a rest and a raclette I noticed a pink reflection in the restaurant window… I first thought the pink was due by the window, but got curious and had to go outside, just in case… and in fact this was the real colour of the mountain as the sun was going down. No filter, Beautiful!

A few climbers actually came this way to the viewing deck I was taking photos from. Not sure if they were expecting someone to be there taking many shots of them… it just made this photo a bit more interesting :)
Tight Rope

To get down from the Aiguille du Midi you had to go through a thick layer of cloud in the Cable car, while many people were complaining they couldn’t see anything, I was very happy about it! :)
The glass of the cabin was producing some rainbow colour randomly on the photo, that was going away if you were shooting in black and white :)

This is a panoramic of 4 photos stiched together with Hugin. The weather was fantastic and the Mont Blanc was just superbe that day!

this is the glacier at the foot of the Mont Blanc, you could almost hear it crack by watching this photo :)
Dissolving Mountain

I stayed on the top of the aiguille du midi for about 4h, and it was magical to see those clouds coming and going… especially when they were hitting the top of mountains
Magic Lake

May 2011 – France, Chamonix
That photo does not do justice to the reality! that lake was dark green and the contrast with the sunny moutain was outstanding… the problem was either I was getting the moutain in the photos with a black lack or a green lake and a white sky… this was the best compromise after so many attempts!

Here is all the legend you need! :)
I liked how the view matched so well that photo.
A Brief Moment

As the air balloon started its descent through the cloud there was a brief moment when that house became visible. As I was taking photos just moment earlier I was ready!
Green Spikes

The trees looked unreal from that angle as we are not used to see them like this, they almost look like plastic toys.
