Le lac de Montriond se trouve en Haute-Savoie sur la commune de Montriond, dans le Chablais français. Le lac est fréquenté par les pêcheurs et surtout par les promeneurs et randonneurs.

Le lac de Montriond est né suite à l'éboulement d'une partie de la montagne de Nantaux au Nord Ouest. Cet événement géologique non daté avec certitude (de 4500 ans à 3 ou 4 siècles !) a provoqué un barrage sur le torrent qui courait au fond de la vallée, d'où la formation du lac.

Keys that can be of great help to make your life easier, can also drag you to alien worlds... Keys and the machine behind them can be addictive. Beware of them.

STORY READING

Bay City, Michigan...the best fireworks anywhere; just ask the locals, they'll tell you that. I have been photographing these fireworks for many years and I never get bored with the process. The city is populated with around 29,000 people but the Big Show draws 200,000+ visitors every year.
