Another amazing photo, Pierre! The effect of mountains jutting out of the low clouds is incredible.
Personally, I'm dying for snow. I was skiing on Saturday on all man-made snow, but it's just not as good as the real thing. Especially when all the surrounding land is brown...:-p
I would have to drive for 12 hours or more to see anything comparable.Thank-You for saving me the trip.Beautiful winter composition Pierre.
Peace&Respect Jojo
You have edited the colors in this, no? The sky looks so blue and the trees look almost black. As far as what I am doing this winter... I haven't planned that far ahead...
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight! Proverbs 3:5-6
« So let us then try to climb the mountain, not by stepping on what is below us, but to pull us up at what is above us, for my part at the stars; amen. »
Wow, this is the reason why some of us go skiing! It is so humbling to be on the slope, with views like that. Makes me want to go out and pack for the Alps.
Gorgeous photo!! I'm not sure what else I can say that hasn't already be said. But thanks for sharing this. I live in Florida and have never seen this much snow in real life. I have always wanted to, thanks for bringing it to my computer at least :D
Wow this is really awesome and surreal looking. Beautiful photography and image. Very nice location, and really like the colors too. Awesome job Pierre!!

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
All I have to say is: WOW! That is a truely SPECTACULAR shot! I would have given you higher than 10 out of 10 but that doesn't exist so you will have to be happy with 10/10.
This is my new desktop wallpaper... It almost looks like the sky just moves so quickly across the mountain. I like how you grasped the storm midway. It doesn't cover up too much of the Alps trees.
Very nice work, now were are my skis? I saw this photo just at the right time. The temp here in Phoenix today was 108 I believe, a photo like this was needed right about now. This colors and the framing of the photo are just amazing. Great work and great talent, hand over a little bit would you.
