CHAMONIX - MONT BLANC II

Paseando por Chamonix hice esta fotografía con el Mont Blanc al fondo. No la busqué, simplemente iba haciendo fotos a lo que me parecía interesante ya que es muy difícil fotografiar esta montaña limpiamente.

Cuando no son nubes que lo tapan, es niebla o el reflejo del sol sobre una nieve tan blanca quema la fotografía y lo demás sale todo casi negro.

Esta vez salió y solo tuve que aclarar algo los primeros planos para que se viera todo.

Parece que Chamonix sea una ciudad de gran belleza y no es así. Creo que es mas una ciudad turística y alegre debido a la cercanía de las pistas de esquí. No hay edificios singulares ni nada por el estilo. quizá sus paisajes cercanos son lo que mas valor le da a esta ciudad.

Al otro lado del túnel del Mont Blanc está Courmayeur que ya es Italia aunque su nombre suena a francés y no tiene ni la mitad de la fama que Chamonix siendo dos ciudades parecidas.

Lo curioso es que en Courmayeur tengo amigos que tienen casa y no conseguí ir, ya que los aviso luminosos advertían que para atravesar el túnel había colas de una hora y media hasta tres horas los fines de semana. Como comprenderás no fui.

Walking through Chamonix I took this picture with Mont Blanc in the background. I didn't look for it, I was just taking pictures of what seemed interesting to me since it is very difficult to photograph this mountain cleanly.

When they are not clouds that cover it, it is fog or the reflection of the sun on such white snow burns the photograph and everything else is almost black.

This time I got it and I just had to clarify the foregrounds so that everything could be seen.

It seems that Chamonix is a city of great beauty and it is not like that. I think it is more a tourist and happy city due to the proximity of the ski slopes. There are no singular buildings or anything like that. Perhaps its near landscapes are what gives more value to this city.

On the other side of the Mont Blanc tunnel is Courmayeur, which is already Italy, although its name sounds French and does not have half the reputation of Chamonix being two similar cities.

The funny thing is that in Courmayeur I have friends who have a house and I did not get to go, since the luminous warning warned that to cross the tunnel there were queues of an hour and a half up to three hours on weekends. As you will understand I did not go.
