L'Alpe d'Huez is one of the main mountains in the Tour de France. The climb is 13.8 km at an average 7.9 per cent, with 21 hairpin bends. It was first included in the race in 1952 and has been a stage finish regularly since 1976.
The race was brought to the mountain by Élie Wermelinger, the chief commissaire or referee.[1] He drove his Dyna-Panhard car between snow banks that lined the road in March 1952, invited by a consortium of businesses who had opened hotels at the summit.[2] Their leader was Georges Rajon, who ran the Hotel Christina.[3] The ski station there opened in 1936. Wermelinger reported to the organiser, Jacques Goddet, and the Tour signed a contract with the businessmen to include the Alpe.
Some of my favorite Black and White candid images from a wedding i shot recently, i really prefer the un posed shots, hope you like them,
The Powder Tower a main entrance into "Old Town Prague"
This was also the place where the coronation processions of Bohemian kings would enter the town. The Powder Tower thus marks the start of the Coronation or Royal Path to Prague Castle.
Construction began in 1475 and halted in 1488, probably due to the fact that the royal residence moved from the Old Town back to the Castle. Further construction works were only started in 1592.
Today’s name Powder tower has been used since the beginning of the 18th century, when the tower was used as a gun-powder storage place.
The Powder Tower is 65 m high, the observation gallery is 44 metres above ground, the spiral staircase is made of 186 stone steps.

Here are two photos of the Powder Gate Tower, Prague, as we made our way through the rain and back to our hotel to freshen up for lunch, which was booked at an unusual restaurant!
This monumental entrance by which the coronation processions of Czech kings entered the Old Town is one of the most significant monuments of Late Gothic Prague. Completed in 1475, the Powder Gate Tower, which formerly served as a gunpowder store, is still the starting point for the Coronation or Royal Route to Prague Castle. The viewing gallery is located at a height of 44 m. (From Prague.eu)
contains a powder scented with vanilla ... a delight!

La "Porta delle Polveri" durante l'ora blu. Essa fu costruita nell'XI secolo e fu una delle tredici porte che circordavano la vecchia città . Il nome deriva dall'uso di conservare la polvere da sparo durante il XVII secolo.
The "Powder Tower" during blue hour. It was built in the XI century, and it was one of the 13 gates that would allow entrance to the old town of Prague. The tower was used to store gunpowder during the XVII century, hence the name.

East Peak summit at Heavenly Ski Resort yesterday. Elevation 9,591 ft., temperature 8 degrees.
If you like snow sports, this will get your juices flowing. Full on rock & roll winter here. Search and Rescue was busy chasing down lost snowboarders, trying to make it to the valley floor almost 5000 feet below.
Low southern December sun is just out of frame to the right; me being lazy, I decided to leave the blue flare in the pic.

Two speedlights on 1/2 power in one silver umbrella, quite high (~ 2,5 m), 45° to the model. Why did we use two speedlights on half the power instead of one on full power? Makes them faster ..., to freeze the flying colored flour. The umbrella was half-collapsed to concentrate the spotlight.
Special thanks go to Martin Piechotta for the great helpfulness:

Amazingly, this is the first ski photo of my wife I've shared on Flickr. There are lots of mountain bike and snowboard photos of her but this is the first photo of her on skis.
The snowboard is her first love but she's starting to be a very good skier and getting confident in the pow now, too. In fact, this photo was an Alta Ski Area Photo of the Day, last weekend. This is also a good photo of our current weather situation - the pattern has changed and we've been getting regular winter storms and the skiing has been great. So if you like powder porn, you should be seeing more in my feed.
...falling from the sky. According to the calendar there are still two and a half weeks left of autumn, but Mother Nature seems to have her own timetable!
