En périphérie des murs de la ville forte de Condé-sur-l’Escaut, l’industrie minière a produit entre autres choses un patrimoine remarquable…
La Compagnie des mines d'Anzin exploita la fosse Ledoux à Condé-sur-l'Escaut de 1900 à 1988.
Ce chevalement constitue l’un des témoins particuliers de l’histoire industrielle de la ville. Datant de 1951, il est situé sur le site de Chabaud-Latour. Construit par l'entreprise Delattre et Frouard, il s'agit d'un chevalement à poutrelles d'acier boulonnées, de type portique, avec avant-carré porteur et mollettes superposées, caractéristique de la Nationalisation.
La fosse et son chevalement sont inscrits aux Monuments Historiques depuis le 6 mai 1992. Le chevalement est également classé le 30 juin 2012 au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco.
"Depuis le démantèlement de la fosse en 1989 et la démolition en 1991 du chevalement jumeau (n° 2) , c'est le seul vestige de cette importante fosse, témoin de l'époque de modernisation de l'après-guerre." © Base Mérimée

Diente del Gigante (4013 m.) visto desde Punta Helbronner (Italia), punto de llegada del telecabina procedente de la Aguja del Midi, en Chamonix-Mont Blanc. Punta Helbronner es la divisoria entre la Alta Saboya Francesa y el Valle de Aosta en Italia, y está situada a una altitud de 3462 metros.
Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in the Alps and the highest in Europe after the Caucasus peaks. It rises 4,808 m (15,774 ft) above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence. Between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Savoie and Haute-Savoie, France. The location of the summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the valleys of Montjoie, and Arve in France. The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing, and snowboarding.
The three towns and their communes which surround Mont Blanc are Courmayeur in Aosta Valley, Italy, and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, France. The latter town was the site of the first Winter Olympics. A cable car ascends and crosses the mountain range from Courmayeur to Chamonix, through the Col du Géant. Constructed beginning 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.

El telecabina de la Vallée Blanche, ara conegut com Télécabine Panoramic du Mont-Blanc, és un dels recorreguts més espectaculars (que no barats) que es poden fer pels Alps. Consisteix en un telecabina de petites dimensions (4 persones per cabina, 3 cabines per "grup") que recorré els 5 quilometres que separen la italiana Punta Helbronner (3466 m.) de la francesa Aiguille du Midí (3778 m.). Tot el recorregut és per sobre la glacera del Mont Blanc i la del Geant, una de les més grans dels Alps. El seu inmens recorregut té dos punts de suport (on no es pot baixar) el pic del Gros Rognon (3536 m.) i un anclatge suspès entre dos altres pics (i que permet girar uns graus el recorregut fins a Punta Helbronner. Tot el recorregut, que fou inaugurat el 1958, és dins territori francès, fins i tot el punt d'arribada a Punta Helbronner, on hi ha un pas fronterer realment d'alçada!
El que no es recorda gairebé enlloc és que el 29 d'agost de 1961 un caça de la força aeria francesa volà massa arran del teleferic i tallà el cable, llençant un grup de 3 cabines contra les roques i matant 6 turistes.

======================
Panoramic picture taken with a Soviet KMZ FT-2 camera, made in 1961; Kodak Ektar 100 film, home developed with the C-41 Bellini kit.
The Vallée Blanche cable car, now known as Télécabine Panoramic du Mont-Blanc, is one of the most spectacular (and not cheap) tours you can do in the Alps. It consists of a small cable car (4 people per cabin, 3 cabins per "group") that covers the 5 kilometers that separate the Italian Punta Helbronner (3466 m.) from the French Aiguille du Midí (3778 m.). The entire route is over the Mont Blanc and the Giant glaciers, one of the largest in the Alps. Its immense route has two support points (where you cannot descend) the peak of Gros Rognon (3536 m.) and an anchorage suspended between two other peaks (and which allows the route to turn a few degrees to Punta Helbronner. The whole route, which was inaugurated in 1958, is within French territory, even the arrival point at Punta Helbronner, where there is a really high border crossing!
What is hardly remembered anywhere is that on August 29, 1961, a French Air Force fighter flew too far behind the cable car and cut the cable, throwing a group of 3 cabins against the rocks and killing 6 tourists.

" We can choose to wake up and grumble all day and be bitter and angry and judge others and find satisfaction in others doing bad instead of good. Or we can wake up with optimism and love and say, 'Just what is this beautiful day going to bring me?' "
[ Margaret Trudeau ]
...yep! That's just right!
Oui, tout à fait!

Mont Blanc Massif, France.
After warming up on the Arete des Cosmiques, Michi takes the lead across glacier towards our objective for the following morning. The Dent du Géant or "Giant's Tooth" is a beautiful 4,013 m tall granite pinnacle close to the Italian side of the massif, accessible only by rock climbing.

Ce mystérieux homme en noir est celui qui m'a offert un jour mon premier boitier, m'a appris et poussé à m'en servir, puis m'a fait connaitre flickr.
Grâce à lui la photographie est devenue un veritable hobby qui embellit ma vie.
Alors merci à mon fidèle ami, alias Harakis picture.
