While we covered our time in Chamonix, France fairly extensively while we were on the road. Upon returning to Calgary and uploading my SLR camera files, I found some pretty great shots that I thought were worth sharing with those still following along with our adventure. The similarities to BC mountains and the spectacular mountain views of Canmore here in Alberta seem to be how I describe our time there. Hope you enjoy these shots – certain brings back the awe and amazement of that portion of our trip. So beautiful.

A gondola that was closed during our visit. Possibly the one that could have taken us to Italy for lunch?

Me – taking in the view
Mountaineers arriving at the peak
These birds are well known to soar the skies at the top of the Midi
The mountains are like little islands rising up from the clouds, reminding us how freakin high up we actually are.
The view from the pool & valley up to the sunlight mountains
Life with an outdoor pool surrounded by mountains is simply just the right way to live.
The gliders float effortlessly from the mountaintops pas the church steeple in the centre of town
