Chamonix 2006 024, originally uploaded by H69.

Lovely light on the rock – it looks like it was a beautiful clear bright October day when this was taken! I haven’t seen that crag photographed from here before, the people seem so precarious….

Apparently the weather in Chamonix has been really great all autumn – hope it holds out for us, we’ll be there soon!

Lovely panorama of Lac Blanc, it’s a beautiful hike to here from Brevent, or you can take a shorter route from Flegere.
