Valserine river after the rain

Valserine river after the rain

 

We had some strong rain during the past weeks. It stopped yesterday and i decided to explore a part of Valserine river i had never visited before.
Just before the city of Bellegarde sur Valserine, the river suddenly plunges in a narrow and deep canyon so that it seems to disapear from the surface. This place is named Pertes de la Valserine.

Yesterday, due to the high water level, the spectacle was impressive, for the ears as much as for the eyes.

Another image from my visit one week ago to Vallon lake.
I think this view of Roc d'Enfer mountain reflected on the water at dusk is my favorite.
All my photos of this day were published on my website on sunday. You can have a look here.

End of the day on Vallon lake

End of the day on Vallon lake

 

Vallon lake in Bellevaux was created in 1943 by a huge landslip from a surrounding mountain which created a natural dam on Brevon river.
It is located in the mountains of french Chablais (NE par of Haute-Savoie department) and is surrounded by a beautiful mountain forest.
The mountain nicely reflected on the water is the Roc d'Enfer (Hell's Rock) and has an elevation of about 2 200m.

I spent the afternoon yesterday hiking around the lake under an amazing blue sky. I made a few images although it was not my favorite light but i'm sure the place worth another visit by a cloudy autumn day or better in winter.

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 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.

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.

Green meadows and mountain forest in Valserine valley

Green meadows and mountain forest in Valserine valley

 

I'm just back from a short visit to some friends living in Valserine valley. This little trip in Haut Jura Natural Park was not photography oriented and i just took a very short time two days ago for a few images of the surrounding landscape. This one was done just near my friend's house and i think it gives a very nice view of the summer here. In winter these fields and coniferous trees are under tons of snow.

Crêt de Chalam is a mountain between Ain and Jura departments that i discovered about one month ago. It offers a very large and nice view on all the surroundings.

One more image of this july afternoon in Massif des Bauges Natural Park.
This one was done just a very short time after i left my client, at the beginning of my long drive through the park.
I saw these hay stacks near the road when i was on a pass named Col des Prés. It was not the best time for photography but my stock was short of rural landscapes with hay stacks, so i stopped for a very few images.

I'll soon post more pictures from this day here but i've published the most interesting ones on my website a few days ago. You can have a look here.

An image from july.
In this hot summer day afternoon, i was driving through Massif des Bauges Natural Park, back from a client assignment. I had spent the morning making architecture images of a wood made building and wanted to relax a bit and explore the park.
I love driving on mountain roads, climbing the passes and discovering the landscape all around.

I arrived at La Compôte in the second part of afternoon, had a fresh drink in a café, hiked the hills all around for a few shots and drove to Annecy lake and Duing castle.

It's a one year old image from past summer. I went really soon to the sea on one place i didn't know very well. Arriving i hiked a long time in the rocks, looking for a good place, took a few seascapes, walked in the rocks and when the sun was too high for good job i decided to come back and on my way i found some nice orange rocks sunbathing in the morning light. After this closeup i came back home where i left the images sleeping on my hard drives until last night where i found this one and a few seascapes no too disapointing.
