Sometimes you have a strange feeling when you visit a place. You feel that the place is unique and you want to share it with your friends and relatives. It’s not only this picture that I want to share, I would like to share the entire place. So, If you have a week or two days to spend somewhere, go into this place, hike around, I’m sure you’ll love it and please get back to me to say how much you liked it.

We went on the top of one my favorite spot to have a outdoor dinner. During the meal the rain began. When we turned back we saw this rain clouds coming directly on us. We decided to climb down the mountain and going back home. It was a thrilling Tuesday evening. Shot from the top of the Dent de Jaman (1875 m), Switzerland.

During a sunny walk on the Jura ridgeway, we cross so many landscapes. I stopped here and I tried to compose with the sky, the clouds, the forest and the herbs to create a natural mosaic. I used the work of the master Ansel Adams as a source of inspiration. Shoot between Staffelegg and Hauenstein, Switzerland.
The summer is coming slowly in my country. The colza fields add a touch of yellow to the landscape. Shot in Penthalaz, Switzerland.
Another shot from the Lavaux, a few weeks later (see my previous post). This time, winter is coming. I tried to catch the unique atmosphere of this breathtaking place under the snow. It was a cold afternoon of december when the light went down very early in the day. Shot from the Route de la Corniche, near Epesses Switzerland.

I organise an expedition to climb my first 4k (4000), we choose the Wiessmies (4017 m) above Saas-Grund, Switzerland. Five of my friends and I woke up at 4 o’clock in the morning to reach the top. The target was to be back to the hut before 12 o’clock. It was a huge success and everybody were proud of their efforts and glad at the end.
Almost abstract image taken on the Perito Moreno in Patagonia, Argentina. The idea is to express the simple beauty of this huge glacier during a blue sky day.
This is the first picture of a serie about my last trip in Patagonia. In the background you can see the Cerro Torre (3128 m). This picture was shooted at Laguna Torres, Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, Argentina.
Same place than the previous post, but at night, I definitely like this place. We climbed up the mountain at the end of day to enjoy a cold sunset and share bottle of white wine. Shot from the top of Dent de Vaulion (1482m), Vaud, Switzerland.
