Views from Le Brévent, the high point above Chamonix

in photography •  7 years ago 

At 4,810m Le Brévent has some superb views of Mont Blanc, and some good warning signs

While Snowboarding a few years back I took these photos with my iPhone 6 Plus

It's the top of the world, and the views are breathtaking (along with the thin air)

I love the snow and the mountains, but prefer it when the sun is shining and it's relatively warm

I would not fancy trekking that ridge in a snowstorm!

It's a long way back down.

To get to the far side, you have to walk through this rather daunting ice tunnel.

With a super smooth inner surface

And that's it for this selection of pictures from my travels.

Wow, just amazing shoots, i wish i had gone skiing there

There is some amazing terrain in the French Alps, ski or snowboard you won't go far wrong spending a week or two in the mountains during winter.

Hills yeah!

Hills are wonderful, hills with snow on are EPIC!

Hey @c0ff33a

Sorry for replying so late, I noticed huge interactions on my blog so I had to check yours back again ;)

This are soo AWESOME pictures! I really like the winter and when everything is covered with snow :)
Unfortunately here in Germany that's a rare thing to happen unless you live in higher placed regions :(

I reblog your photos and hope you get a little more revenue for them because they are really great! Keep up the good work :)

Greetings from
Djangos story @juicypop

Thank you JuicyPop, I hope Django has recovered from his bath. We do not see much snow in the UK either, but I have been fortunate to travel to the mountains in previous years. I love the little animated gif footer you have too - and the picture of Django in it, almost looks like he is pleading me to read more of his stories ;-)

Yes, Django's feeling great and smells by far better than before :D

If you like you can send me some/pictures ideas and I can craft you an animated banner too ;)

That looks beautiful but I bet the air is so thin I would just want to stay in bed lol.

Thanks Paul, I'm surprised Ben hasn't had you up some mountains yet doing some crazy freestyle skiing and snowboarding!

The pictures where you're on the same level as the clouds are phenomenal.

Thank you for dropping by, to be fair nature did the hard work and I just managed to hold my iPhone in the right direction for once - plenty of feet and wall pictures in my photo collection! I am going to be checking all your posts out right now because it seems we share the same love of coffee.
