Autumn in Parmelan mountain
Parmelan is a moutain of Massif des Bornes close to Annecy.
I had a little hike there a few days ago in an area of alpine meadows and forests. The day was sunny and hot for the season and i really enjoyed the few hours spent in this charming nature.
All my images from this day are on my website. Check this page.

Resting snow
Protected from the sun by the north face, protected from the rain by the overhanging rocks, i found some snow at the end of august, just under the cliffs of Bargy mountain.

Bénit lake in Massif des Bornes mountains
Bénit lake is an alpine lake in Massif des Bornes and located just under Bargy mountain at an elevation of 1477 m.
The place is beautiful, surrounded by white cliffs and green coniferous forests.
I went there for a family walk in july and returned a few days ago to make images.

Erosion on Bargy mountain
I returned yesterday to Massif des Bornes for a hike to a little lake located just at the bottom of Bargy moutain.
After making images of the lake itself, i spent a few time capturing some details of the NW side of the mountain.

Dard waterfall in the mountains of Massif des Bornes
An image from about one year ago of this beautiful waterfall on Bronze river.
I returned there some weeks ago after a few days of storms and strong rain, the waterfall was unrecongnizable and looked like small Niagara falls.

Bargy mountain by a summer day
This image was certainly not done under an impressive light but i really love the view here.
Bargy mountain is divided in two parts, Petit Bargy you can devine behind the small tree on the left and Grand Bargy in the middle of the frame/Friday 6 July 2012
Mountain view
One more image done from the slopes of Andey peak in Massif des Bornes.
The first big cliff is a part of Bargy mountain and i can't remember the name of the three high summits in the background.

Last sunrays on Bargy mountain
Four days after my first visit to Massif des Bornes, we had one new and short window of correct weather. So i decided to come back and explore some of the mountains above Bronze river.
I drove to Solaison plateau and then hiked to Andey peak. It was a pleasant and easy walk with a very nice view from the top.
The image posted above was done at dusk while i was walking down to my car. Bargy mountain is the large and rocky one you can see on the left of the picture.
Why so much images of rivers and forest
One more image of the Bronze river from my first explorations in Massif des Bornes area.
Waiting for the light to be good on Dard waterfall, i had a beautiful hike along the river running underwoods in a narrow canyon.
I guess it will be a wonderful place in autumn.
Why so much images about rivers and forest ?
Some may be surprised by the amount of photos here about the french forests and running waters. There are many reasons for this big number of images :
- I've always loved forest, waterfalls and rivers. So i couldn't imagine my photographic work without them.
- I've clients for this kind of images working in forest industry so, even on short term, i don't loose my time when i increase my stock with such images and my return on invest is acceptably short.
- People and business say to be more and more concerned about our natural environment. Forest and rivers are two important keys of this environment and i expect my stock to become more and more valuable.

Last sunrays on Dard waterfall
A new place discovered yesterday.
Dard waterfall or Cascade du Dard is on the Bronze river running through the mountains of Massif des Bornes in Haute Savoie department.
I arrived in the middle afternoon and the light was really too hard on the fall. So, i explored the narrow and underwood canyon lower on the river.
After a nice hike and a few images of the stream, i was back to the waterfall around 7 pm. The sun was still a bit high and i spent the last waiting time looking for the best point of views.
The image posted here was done under the very last sunrays. The contrast between dark trees and clear sky was really high and i thought that HDR could be one of the best solution for this view. So i took a serie of 5 exposures. Back home, i processed them with Picturenaut to obtain the result you can see here.
