Menthon Saint Bernard castle in the dull light of a springtime dusk
About one year ago, i show you another side of this castle.
Yesterday, i spent the afternoon exploring the surroundings of this monument. I drove all around, hiked in the forest, walked through the park, ...
Even if the light was not at its best, i took e few images before driving back home. I plan to come back with more greenery on the forest and i hope the leaves won't hide the castle too much.

Menthon Saint Bernard Castle in winter
I usually don't make images on sunday. I prefer spending this free time with my family and it's easier to find tranquil places during the week.
But i was alone this week end and yesterday afternoon after a big work around the house i noticed that the light would probably be nice at dusk.
I took my gear and drove to Annecy.
This castle stands proudly over the lake from about 10 centuries and is a very famous local monument. It's also registred in France as a Monument Historique.
If you want to know more about its history, Wikipedia will tell you more than me :)

Annecy lake - Winter dawn at the pier
Another done at the pier of Menthon Saint Bernard on the border of Annecy lake.
Made a few hours before the one in the previous post.
I remember i turned around some times to find the right composition with my wide angle and i realized that the best solution would probably be a crop at processing time. The original image is not too bad but i really prefer this version.

2011 project - The weekly commented photo
Every post here is done with one image and a little (sometimes very short because of my bad english) text.
Sometimes i speak about the photo, sometimes about my life, sometimes about other things i've found on the web.
In 2011 i'll give me a little assignment : Every friday i'll write a post showing an image (old or new) and explaining why and how it was done.
Why will include things like personnal mood or commercial reasons. How will give some technical informations about the making of.
One year is 52 weeks so i can hope to find the time to play that little but serious game.

A very cold dawn on Annecy lake
I went yesterday morning to a new place around Annecy lake. More precisely it was the pier of Menthon Saint Bernard. It was really soon and really cold. I expected more snow on the mountains but the dawn light was beautiful.
A big thank you to Nikon for making large bodies still comfortable to use with frosted fingers.
