To get the (snow)ball rolling... a photo from high in the Savoie Alps, as we approach the close of this ski season. Taken from under the Aiguille Rouge peak at the resort of Les Arcs...

Summertime in the Savoie Alps, in the small valley separating Les Arcs from La Plagne. A typical Savoyard farmhouse, with its back to the slopes protected from avalanche by a high mound of rocks and earth, overgrown with vegetation over the centuries...

One of my own favorites from Paris. Winter, 2005. (Sorry, I know it's a bit cliché :-p)

I honestly don't remember. I think it was early afternoon but it was snowing, which is why it might seem like it was later in the day or evening.

A few years ago now... summertime in Vaison la Romaine, near the Mont Ventoux in the Vaucluse



Three 'melons de Cavaillon' for a euro, the year after the new currency was introduced? They'll cost a fair bit more this summer I reckon...

Late September at Lac Pavin in the Auvergne - a beautiful clear day.

Monsieur Smith - do you live close to this lake? I read that the deep blue on a clear day is partly down to the altitude (just under 1200m)... and that there is a constant danger of gaseous eruption, because of the concentration of methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide in its depths (over 90 metres).
