The climb to the Brèche du Dérochoir (2171 m- 7451 ft) from the Refuge de Sales (1870 m- 6135 ft) was harder than the drop suggested, especially the last climb before reaching the top.
But there, suddenly, the entire Mont-Blanc range vas deployed in front of our amazed eyes, from the Aiguille Verte (4122 m - 13524 ft ) to the Mont Blanc (4808 m - 15774 ft).
I had never seen it so perfectly in all its extent, neither too close nor too far, just the wright distance to clearly distinguish and recognize the high peaks which stood out in a perfect light on this vertiginous relief.
A view of anthology, it was a great moment!

A couper le souffle !
La montée à la Brèche du Dérochoir (2171 m) depuis le refuge de Sales (1870 m) fut plus dure que ne le suggérait le dénivelé, particulièrement la fin de la montée avant d'arriver en haut.
Mais là, d'un coup, tout la chaîne du Mont-Blanc était déployée devant nos yeux émerveillés, depuis l'Aiguille Verte (4122 m) jusqu'au Mont Blanc (4808 m).
Je ne l'avais jamais vu aussi parfaitement dans toute son ampleur, ni trop près, ni trop loin, juste le bon recul pour bien distinguer et reconnaître les hauts sommets qui se découpaient dans une lumière parfaite sur ce relief vertigineux.
Une vue d'anthologie, ce fut un grand moment !

You are looking at a handwound 17-jewel pocket watch movement in a dead cheap "Polaris" pocket watch from the Yantai Watch & Clock Factory.
These watches were sold for the breathtaking amount of 75 CNY (equals about 10.40 EUR or 11.76 USD) as souvenirs at the Yantai Watch & Clock Museum.
Considering how much gunk is inside this movement, it is no wonder the watch is that cheap...

I am on a business-trip in Switzerland this week, unfortunately without my camera. The weather is probably not perfect for great shootings, low clouds and thunderstorms are real spoil-sports. Anyway, I post an older shot from a recent visit, showing the Rhine Falls of Schaffhausen, Switzerland
Biarritz lies on the Bay of Biscay, on the Atlantic coast, in southwestern France. Unlike any other part of France. The region has its own language, cultural landscape, architecture, and culinary traditions. The land here is breathtakingly distinctive— with the turquoise blue waters, wild coastline, and rugged foothills of the Pyrenees
Have you ever visited Sandbanks Provincial Park, nestled on the west coast of Prince Edward County? To be completely honest, and I don't want to exaggerate, but every person I have ever talked to in my life about provincial parks love this place.
There is our opportunity for an exceptional exploration and full enjoyment of the beauty of this park at this time of a year, especially, when all the summer crowds were gone. This image is taken on the stunning Woodlands Trail that leads across old farm pastures to hardwood lots. A walk over the leaf carpeted trail is breathtaking, and you can enjoy hearing the rustle of the leaves while walking. Awesome!
The fall colors amaze everyone, so enjoy them until you can, because the remanence of Hurricane Patricia will bring all the foliage down today!

As we are approaching the Valle de la Luna, the arid beauty of the Atacama Desert stands out. The landscape in the foreground is dominated by crystallized salt formations. The mountain in the background is the Licancabur volcano. (Atacama desert, Chile)
The picture is not of best quality. It was taken from a distance with a 28-135mm fitted but I could not resist trying to catch it anyway. (:-D
Best seen in Large. Thanks.
I took this photo at the top of an access road above the red roofed church. it was a challenge to omit all of the people and busses that kept pulling into the church parking lot. The Village below is Vik, Iceland.
The Colorado River sculpts a route past the Little Colorado confluence, Cape Solitude to the left, and Chuar Butte to the right. In a mere 6 million years the Colorado has carved through and laid bare, in a breathtaking manner, about 1.75 billion years of earth history.

Dragged myself out of bed at 430am this morning for a sunrise at Pebbly Beach. I use an app called Alpenglow which gives a simplified forecast for sunsets and sunrises at any given location. It just rates them graphically as poor, fair, good, great etc. It told me todays would be great. Alpenglow you owe me 3 hours sleep!! It was very cloudy and overcast pretty much the whole time, except this small moment when the sun came flooding through a break in the clouds and bathed the sand in gold. Made it the rip worth it. Well, it was worth it anyway, any sunrise is good no matter what the weather, and any beach is good , any time :)
Have a great weekend !

westwards, of the City of Gibraltar and across the Bay to Algeciras; a birds eye view of Gibraltar airport
and Spain to the north; and the blue expanse of the Mediterranean and the beaches and cities
of the Costa del Sol to the east. Visitors can also watch the apes. from the comfort of the air-conditioned inside
