Mont Blanc (French) or Monte Bianco (Italian), meaning "White Mountain", is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe and the European Union. It rises 4,810.45 m (15,782 ft)[2] above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence. It is also sometimes known as La Dame blanche (French for "the White Lady") or Il Bianco (Italian for "the White One").

 

The mountain lies between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Haute-Savoie, France and the location of the summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the Arve Valley in France.

 

The two most famous towns near Mont Blanc are Courmayeur in Aosta Valley, Italy, and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, France—the site of the first Winter Olympics. A cable car ascends and crosses the mountain from Courmayeur to Chamonix.

 

Begun in 1957 and completed in 1965, the 11.6 km (7¼ mi) Mont Blanc Tunnel runs beneath the mountain between these two countries and is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes.

 

The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.

 

The summit of Mont Blanc is a thick, perennial ice and snow dome whose thickness varies, so no exact and permanent summit elevation can be determined. But accurate measurements have been made. For a long time its official elevation was 4,807 m (15,771 ft). Then in 2002, the IGN and expert surveyors, with the aid of GPS technology, measured it to be 4,810.40 m (15,782 ft 2 in).

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Blanc

 

The Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps.

 

The cable car to the summit, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, was built in 1955 and held the title of the world's highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 m to 3,842 m. There are two sections: from Chamonix to Plan de l'Aiguille at 2,317 m and then directly, without any support pillar, to the upper station at 3,777 m (the building contains an elevator to the summit). The span of the second section is 2,867 m measured directly, but only 2,500 m measured horizontally. It thus still is the second longest span width, measured directly.

A little bit of history

Two large landslides dominate the story of Derborence.

 

On the 23rd September 1714, a huge part of rock detached itself from the face under the summit of Diablerets, at a place called Derotchieu and this can still be seen very clearly today. The biggest part of these rocks landed mainly on the left side of the river and afterwards it spread out on the right side until the "Vallon de Cheville" 1500 meters below. It spread in the shape of a cone between the pastures of Derborence and the Godey, over 1800 meters wide. The largest part of the rock fall stayed at this point and a certain amount went through the narrow part of the valley and stopped at about 1100 meters, having slid over 5 and a half kilometers in total.

 

It has been estimated that the thickness of this rock fall between the Godey and Derborence is around 100 meters. According to the testimony of a local priest from Ardon, fifty five chalets and fourteen people were buried under the rubble and only five people were saved. He came up to the site two days after the catastrophe, to exorcise the "Devils of the Mountains". A second rock fall happened at the same place in 1749. The mass of rocks slid down more on the right side and here started the formation of the lake of Derborence. The people, who were staying in this mountain area during the summer months, could see the rocks gradually beginning to fall, and therefore they decided to leave early and were able to lead their animals to safety. This time 40 chalets and alpine huts were buried, but no human lives were lost.

Plankton has traveled to a lot of places, and we {he & I} realized: he's never been to his hometown!!

 

So off to Chicago for a sunrise! I am guessing that most of you will recognize this iconic backdrop ("The Bean") in Millennium Park ... though probably not ever like this!! As I pulled Plankton out of my backpack ... this fake mustache fell to the ground. Naturally, he begged to wear it for this shot!

 

And why would I have a fake mustache in my backpack you ask? I 'forced' all the cousins into a mustache photoshoot over the holidays. {see all the silly shots in comments} The one Plankton is sporting is the one Jackie used!

 

Sorry I haven't been around much ... who knew that a 'job' could be so time consuming!! They've asked me to work extra days (a good thing for the bank account ... but not for Flickring)!! I shall catch up tonight ... just had to post a toy today!!

 

Happy Toy-in-the-frame Thursday!!!

This image was taken about 20 minutes after an earlier post, titled “Setting into the Mist”. Therefore, it seemed fitting to post this version as a part 2.

 

The mist had now completely engulfed the valley between my camera and Mt. Rainier. About 30 minutes after this image was captured you could have stood at this exact spot, and you would have seen absolutely nothing but mist.

I was really lucky again - the blue sky came out for about 20 minutes - after that it began to hail...

  

I'm using the Haida 1000x ND filter. I had a B+W before, but it produced a strong red color cast and it cost 90€ with 77mm thread, compared to the 35€ i paid for the Haida, which produces far better colors.

16/12/2011 TK BREMEN, navire échoué sur la plage d' Erdeven dans le Morbihan, dont toutes les chaines d'actualités parlent en ce moment. Cette photo a été prise de nuit vers les 22H00, face au navire, avec une mer quelque peu formée ce soir là, d'où le flouté des vagues sur la gauche. L'ambiance qui en ressort est assez mitigée car la photo est belle, mais le symbole l'est beaucoup moins, à cause des répercutions écologiques. Etant donné l'intérêt et à la fois le dégoût qu'ont les habitants pour ce bateau, il était important pour nous de le mettre en image, et d'en garder une trace en l'état car les autorités entament des mesures pour le démanteler.

Il a fallu trouver l' axe adéquate pour palier au problème de surexposition dû aux spots halogènes du pont qui gâchaient toutes les photos de coté.

Even if the wind blows us to directions far and unreachable, I will love you.. forever.

La Torre de Celas es el único resto que se conserva de una fortaleza medieval construida en el siglo XIV. Fue destruida por los Irmandiños y reconstruida en el siglo XV, siendo sus propietarios más ilustres los Condes de Andrade.

En la actualidad solo queda en pie la torre, con doce metros de altura; restaurada en 1992, es sede del Museo Etnográfico del Ayuntamiento de Culleredo.

 

La Torre de Celas is what remains of a medieval fortress built in the 14th century; it was destroyed by the "Irmandiños" and rebuilt in the 15th century.

At present there is only the tower left, twelve metres high; restaured in 1992, it is the Ethnographic Museum of Culleredo.
