Detail of the two people in the last shot. It is a bit blurry as I had to zoom in quite a bit. I think one person is taking a photo of the other one!

Aiguille du Midi, Mont Blanc, France

Last month a friend was in town and we had a beautiful sunny day, so we rode the télécabine (aerial tramway) up to the Aiguille du Midi to have a close-up view of Mont Blanc and the other Alps.

Last Night

We were driving home on the last evening of our trip and saw this amazing moon over Mont Blanc near Chamonix, France. A wonderful end to a fantastic trip!
