July 2009 – France, Chamonix
After a long walk it was time to go down, this part of the mountain looked surreal, as if it was out of a cinema set. As if you were in a Lord of the Ring movie trying to reach that evil castle on the top of that mountain in the background… probably too much imagination after a long and tiring but very enjoyable walk :)
July 2009 – Chamonix, France
Suspended to a cable it was an amazing site of the Mont Blanc, the morning what quite cloudy but as we reach the summit all the clouds quickly disappeared. It was quite a sight to see many climbers so close to you. These climbers on the photo were actually going back to the Aiguille du Midi it seems. I liked how the snow contrasted between the fore and back ground. One is clam and looks like a desert and the other is stressed and dangerous.
July 2009 – Chamonix, France
As I was travelling in a cable car in between the Aiguille du Midi in France and somewhere I can’t remember the name in Italy, that cable car stopped for a moment. As I looked around that amazing landscape, I saw those two small dots who were people going up to the Mont Blanc. I quickly changed the lens so I could see more than just two dots and I was amused that they actually stopped to take a photo. It is a shame I don’t know who they are, because I am sure they must have some amazing shots from there, but I am also quite certain they’d appreciate the shots of them I have from above. That photos actually almost never came to be for some reasons that are personal and that I may share another time :)

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!

This looked hard, they were struggling to go up! I am not sure if they decided not to sky down or if they had sky on the glacier and were coming back. I actually think some of those guys were in the same lift I took down, about an hour after I took that photo!

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 :)

The sun was lighting this, making standing out as you were walking through. This was my last photo from the Aiguille du Midi that day and after 4h up there, as I was feeling as cold as that stalactic!

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 on the top deck of the aiguille du Midi, the sun was very strong and the wind very cold!
