Grésivaudan Blue and Green by Robert Cross

Blue skies and green grass on a clear, late winter's day in Le Grésivaudan, the long Alpine valley north of Grenoble. A horse grazes calmly at the edge of a vineyard while a waterfall plunges down the steep slopes of the Dent de Crolles (2,062 m [6,765 ft]), rising majestically more than a mile above our heads. I absolutely love this part of France.

You may recognize this remarkable peak from its recent appearance in the BBC series, "Agatha Christie's Poirot" (Season 13, Episode 4, "The Labours of Hercules") where it provided the exterior shots for the fictitious Swiss Alpine retreat of "Hotel Olympos". The Dent de Crolles is one of the main peaks in the Chartreuse Mountains (the range of the French Prealps between Grenoble and Chambéry), is home to one of the most complex systems of caves in the world, and is considered by many to be the birthplace of modern caving.

Thanks for stopping by, and for taking the time to look at my work. I hope you enjoy it.

taken on Lago Maggiore, Piedmont Italy

Lake Maggiore (in Italian: Lago Maggiore or Verbano, the Roman Lacus Verbanus) is the most westerly of the three large prealpine lakes of Italy and the second largest after Lake Garda. It lies approximately at [show location on an interactive map] 45°57′N 8°38′E / 45.95, 8.633.

Santa Caterina del Sasso

It has a surface area of about 213 km², a maximum length of 54 km and, at its widest, is 12 km. The lake basin has tectonic-glacial origins and its volume is 37 km³.

Its main tributaries are the Ticino, the Maggia, the Toce (by which it receives the outflow of Lake Orta) and the Tresa (which is the sole emissary of Lake Lugano). The rivers Verzasca, Giona, and Cannobino also flow into the lake. Its outlet is the Ticino which, in turn, joins the river Po just south-east of Pavia.

The lake’s jagged banks are surrounded by the Prealps of Piedmont and Lombardy. The western bank is in Piedmont (provinces of Novara and Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola) and the eastern in Lombardy (province of Varese), whereas the most northerly section extends thirteen kilometres into Switzerland, where it constitutes the lowest point above sea-level in that entire country.

The climate is mild in both summer and winter, producing Mediterranean vegetation, with beautiful gardens growing rare and exotic plants. Well-known gardens include those of the Isola Madre, Isola Bella and the Isole di Brissago, that of the Villa Taranto in Verbania, and the Alpinia botanical garden above Stresa.
