Cette vallée de Chamonix, entourée de ces splendides montagnes, est de toute beauté et ta photo lui rend parfaitement hommage. Tu as trouvé le POV idéal.
Content de ne plus voir la dominante jaune -)

Bonjour Cedric,
une photo qui coupe le souffle comme on dit. Les neiges un peu bleutées mais cela ne gêne en rien la beauté abrupte des versants très redressés et couverts d'arbres.
beaucoup de profondeur mais verticale cette fois.
Un petit bout de ciel bien bleu et serein.
Compliments.
Daniel.
