A QUIET VIEW OF LES DRUS

The magnificent Les Drus

Mer de Glace & Grand Jorasses

Spires and glaciers all day

Some late afternoon cloud, even better

The Aguille Rouge

The clear skies over the Chamonix valley coaxed me away from the boring paperwork today. I had a quick blast up to Montenvers and along the Grand Balcon Nord. With lots of folk around I escaped the madding crowds and found a delightful spot with an even more impressive angle on Les Dru's classic shape. I sat in the sun gazing across the Met de Glace whilst waiting for the sun to move into the finest position for photos. But the paperwork becond so I tore myself away and caught the train down from Montenvers. Stunner of a day.
