Dreadful weather across UK of late, ive had time to check through previous years images...one from the Alps, summer 2006 from the base of the midi arete Chamonix.

Fantastic mood. Typical but magical Chamonix scenery, I love it!

Post by: shaunw on January 05, 2013, 02:24:14 am: Thanks Kajo...this one makes my print list, i get to spend much less time then id like in the Alps so they tend to be a bit special to me. I like your foot note in your profile, reminds me of a John Lennon quote..."Life is what happens to you when your busy making plans"
