Clouds forming over Mont Blanc, from Les Praz

Beautiful photo of the beginnings of the “bonnet d’âne” cloud that often forms over Mont Blanc.

Les Drus and Aiguille Verte
La Forêt February 21st, 2008
Another stunning photo from Genyphr, with fiery alpenglow on the Drus and the Verte. You can see their relative sizes more clearly from this angle, with the more snowy bulk of the Verte behind the geometric granite of the Drus.
She has a wonderful series of photos here where you can see the progression of the colouring - it’s very quick when it happens, moving through a spectrum of reds, pinks and oranges before suddenly disappearing.

Sunset Alpenglow on Les Drus
La Forêt December 20th, 2007
After the thick snow of last week, we have clear skies in Chamonix, and some spectacular Alpenglow in the evening…
Chamonix Panorama from Flegere
La Forêt December 13th, 2007
Another of these gorgeous panoramas - this one, I think, is taken from near the top of the Floria lift at Flegere? The huge circular formation is the Lavancher bowl - the left hand side of this is part of the Grands Montets ski area. It’s really worth clicking through to see the larger version!
Chapelle des Praz de Chamonix

Lovely light on this atmospheric shot of the church and the Aiguilles du Dru & Verte
Sunset from the Flegere lift
La Forêt November 2nd, 2007
The blazing colours of the Alpine sunsets are caused by the natural phenomena of Alpenglow.
Les Praz Church
La Forêt May 6th, 2007
Gorgeous panoramic picture of the church - perhaps taken in very early spring as there are no flowers out yet?
Panorama from the Flegere lift
La Forêt May 5th, 2007
Gorgeous panoramic shot from Flegere - it’s really worth looking at the larger version, or, if you have a really big screen, the original size.
On the left are les Drus - looking completely different from this angle. The Mer de Glace glacier is in the valley, and then come the Aiguilles de Chamonix, the Aiguille du Midi and then Mont Blanc - appearing smaller than it really is from here. The base of the Index lift is on the right
