Lake Guichard is a small lake in the french Alps with a very easy access and a beautiful view on Aiguilles d'Arves mountains (the three needles in the background).

These little cabins in the fields are very typical of Massif des Bauges. They where used to keep hay and avoid fire risks in the village.
This image was done a few days ago just near La Compôte village.

When i made this image of Bellecombe en Bauges village, i was standing in some green meadows under a very cloudy sky.
Just for a few minutes, the sun lighted the forest just near and i just had the time to run a little through the fields and make this image.

My last visit to Massif des Bauges Natural Park some weeks ago started with some rural landscapes near Bellecombe village, continued with some images of river Chéran and ended in this forest overhanging the river. It was a mixed forest with coniferous and decideous trees, the last ones providing the green background in this image.

All my images from Massif des Bauges Natural Park are here.
