Lake Annecy seen from a temporary beach at Jet de la Rose below Roc de Chère, in Talloires. It feels a bit like some tropical island… The beach usually appears in the fall when the water level of the lake is lower. These days, there has been a drought all summer so it is particulary low.
Rainbow in the fog at Station du Semnoz.
Lac de Roselend and Mont Blanc seen from near Roche Parstire.
I submitted that photo as my shot for this year’s “Your Best Shot 2025” on Flickr. It is nothing special technically but it was one of the best views I had this year. Here are more photos of the hike to Roche Parstire (starting from Lac de Saint-Guérin). That hike was quite easy and offered great views.
Some stray cats playing in Montmélian.
I submitted that photo as my shot for “Your Best Shot 2024” on Flickr. It became my most popular photo of 2024!
Here are some photos I took in April.
Above, in Cirque-du-Fer-à-Cheval. I had been there many years ago, in the fall. I wanted to come back when the snow was melting: The buses that went there from Cluses stopped running at the end of April so I waited for both the paths to be walkable and the temperature to be high enough so I could see the waterfalls at their best. Unfortunately, there was a cold spell by then but I still went. It was pretty cold but some of the waterfalls were still flowing fast thanks to the sun.
Here are some photos I took last month.
Above, Cascade du Dard above Villaz. It is currently quite hot and the snow is melting: Torrents are flowing fast and it is a great time to visit waterfalls.
