![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 3303 W: 995 N: 6575]](http://i1.trekearth.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (31419) | Another hike this morning staring off from the Col de la Colombière. The light was quite special as clouds were swirling around the summits. For a short instant the summit of Pointe Blanche (2438 m) was bathed in the morning sunlight, just before the clouds settled in again.
I hiked for about 90 minutes to reach the Col de Balafrasse that you can see on the right of the picture. I had initially planned to go further to climb a summit (not visible on this photo), but I encountered a major obstacle on the path (see WS).
It was finally a good thing that I couldn't go on because within 15 minutes, the sky turned dark and I heard the thunder announcing the arrival of a storm. So I quickly put away my camera in my bag and managed to make it back to the car just as the rain started.
Bonus: another photo of the ibexes

Une trentaine de bouquetins occupaient le sentier que je devais parcourir. J'en avais déjà croisé plein depuis le début de la rando et tous, plutôt peureux, s'étaient écartés à mon passage. Mais ici, pour la première fois, je me suis retrouvée face à un vieux mâle avec des cornes de plus d'un mètre qui m'a fait comprendre qu'il n'avait pas l'intention de me laisser passer. J'ai donc prudemment reculé de quelques mètres et j'en ai profité pour faire plein de photos de ces animaux.
About thirty ibexes were lying across the path I was on. I had already seen several of them since the beginning of the hike and all of them, rather frightened, had walked away as I approached. But here, for the first time, I found myself facing an old male with horns over a meter long who clearly made me understand that he had no intention of letting me pass. So I carefully stepped back a few meters and enjoyed taking loads of photos of these animals. |
