Alpine lake under the clouds

Lac du Bourget under the clouds
Lac du Bourget under the clouds


Another one from our summer trip.

The Mont-Aiguille is a beautiful and historical mountain because it's reputated to be the first mountain that men climbed with no other goal than going to the top. So it would be the birth place of alpinism.
When i was 12, i made a walk around this mountain and took many images that hanged a long time in my bedroom.
As our road to Jura passed just near, i decided to make a night stop just under the mountain to make some photos at dawn. We arrived in the evening and found a perfect place for the van, the weather was beautiful and i could expect some beautiful pink hues at dawn.
But Alps are not Provence, at 3 am, we were awakend by an impressive thunder storm with a huge rain. One hour later we decided to leave and drive to a more peaceful place. A few hundreds km later, we were just near the Lac du Bourget and the rain has stopped. We had a short stop here and i took this photo during our breakfast time.

Wow~
the deep space,
the contrast back on the horizon,
the soft flow of blue to green in the water.
Thanks for the flash-back to your youth- you've been at this for a while! The love and expertise are evident.
