Trees in the mist and snow - First contribution to Skywatch Friday

Trees in the mist and snow

Early this morning we had our first time without any falling snow for some days.
I could grab a few images of the rural landscapes around the houses while the light was still soft. Walking in more than 30 cm of fresh and virgin snow was a real pleasure.

This image is my first contribution to Skywatch Friday.

Snow on the Vuache mountain

Snow on the Vuache mountain

Another one from my friday walk on the Vuache mountain. It was done just near the oak tree shown in my previous post and a little before the real summit. The autumn snow was really not high and didn't hide totaly the grass and and bush in the fields.

When i left the house and started to climb i was sure to be alone but arrived there i met another hiker, walking back from the summit and worrying about the fact i could be caught by the night in the steep forest path we both had to take to rejoin our cars. So he waited for me :)

Light on the landscape

Rural landscape around Chilly in Haute Savoie

Something different of the kind of landscapes i usually do. That's really rare for me to use a 300 mm.

This morning i was around Annecy lake at about 6 am. It was cold and i had to remember quick how to shoot with frosted hands and how to warm batteries.
