As I have mentioned previously we are effectively pinned
between the two mountain ranges of the Alps and the Jura, it is possible to
see one from the other.- clearly.
The mountains that are visible through the trees in
the shot below are the Alps.
The
Jura, although a mountain range comparable to the Alps, does not reach the same
elevation and so remains without snow for at least half the year.
One
of the most enjoyable things that we have done whilst we have been over here
is to go white water rafting with Merrill Lynch, below you can see Clifford
with Szheila sitting on what would be our means of transport for some 30 kilometers.
The
following pictures were taken in the Alps at Chamonix during my parents visit,
the other photos are of the Jura and local places of interest near Ferney Voltaire.
The rather interesting point about the photos of the
Alps is that the clouds aren't blurred, this is interesting because the wind
was very harsh (even though it looks like a lovely day)
