Below the Summit

Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 17 May 2018 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I took this photo last month while skiing in Tignes and it shows the dramatic north face of the 12,637 ft (3,852m) "Grande Casse" mountain in the French Alps. The buildings in the photo are at 9,950 ft but the ski runs start as high as 11,340 ft. It was certainly the highest and best skiing I've experienced with the best snow conditions.

I like the roundness and softness of the mist and the mount of snow in contrast with the sharpness of the summit. Beautiful indeed. Annierita

Brilliant! The atmosphere is fantastic and I like the grandeur and stature of the mountain that you photographed here. Including the buildings and the tiny people below helps that feeling and adds wonderful scale.
