So my summer here is drawing to a close, so I thought I’d share with you all some scenery from my home region.
The photos are pretty huge so give it some time to load
Now share some scenery from your part of the world

1 – Taken a good few kms North of where I’m from. To the right, you can see the Mont Blanc range
2 – The first range of mountains before the valley I live in (also the very first range of our section of the Alps)
3 – Taken from a mountain on the East side of the valley
4 – Taken from the Westernmost point of my region’s mountains. Here I’m being clever and standing on a rock surrounded by a sheer cliff
5 – A panorama of my little mountain village. The highest mountain at the back is where I took the panorama (Photo 9)
6 – View of the monastery from the top of the mountain I mentioned in photo 5
7 – Same monastery with a choucas (called Jackdaw in English) being badass
8 – 2010 Photo taken from a Southern mountain. The pointy mountain on the left is the one from which I took photo 9. The lower, middle mountain, is from where I took photo 3
9 – 360-degree panorama taken from the top of the mountain you can see in photo 5. The metal thing is the bottom of a cross that we traditionally have at the top of each of our region's peaks
10 – From the top of the mountain, you can see the Mont Blanc range in the far distance
11 – The monastery seen from a field on the opposite mountain. The mountain where I took photo 9 is the tallest one on the right
12 – 360-degree panorama taken from the top of a Southern mountain
13 – Same as photo 9, but I’ve shown where some of the other pictures were taken
14 – Here’s me, going under a local waterfall. It was freezing.
BONUS – Went to see the Tour de France go by. This made it even more worth while
