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 :)
November 2011 – Mauritius
This is the east part of Mauritius, the wild part of the island and arguably the most beautiful. The clouds were playing with the sun and creating those bright green patches.

Chamonix is a gorgeoous town, and this is why!
It is the view you get from the central square!
May 2011 – France, Chamonix
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!
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!
May 2011 – France, Chamonix
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 :)
May 2011 – France, Chamonix
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!
May 2011 – France, Chamonix
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
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!
May 2011 – Chamonix, France
Here is all the legend you need! :)
I liked how the view matched so well that photo.
