A halo above the beautiful Mont Blanc mountain range - a view from our local park.
Bottled "Natural trouble"... the advertising couldn't be more correct... (well, in truth 'trouble' means 'cloudy' in French, but it caused us no end of amusement!)

One thing I learned from living here is that dogs are the most important possessions of any self-respecting Chamonix resident. All shapes and sizes, dogs rule this town, without a doubt.

A stunning sun-set above Mont Blanc, a view from our living room window.
Another stunning sun-set view from our apartment window.
The only charity shop in town had a hefty supply of classic and retro one-piece ski suits, which my friends and I utilised to the max. Here we are assembled for a 'one-piece extravaganza' and picnic at Grand Montet.
The 'Cham Bubble' after a hefty dusting of fresh snow.
Easily my favourite view/apres ski location up the mountain. Le Tour, I love you.

One of the best day's skiing of the season - fresh powder, blue skies and no one on the piste! Blissful!
My ski gear. Such a difficult decision to choose a colour scheme... I thought fresh green would work well with the approaching spring...
Sun rise over the mountains, again a view we were privileged enough to witness every day from our apartment.
The approaching sun casting an eerie mist over the edge of the mountain - a view from our living room window. I still can't believe we were so very lucky to see scenes like this every day.
