The Other Side — Alpine Dreams: What We Left Behind

Click here for print sales

Some more images from my Alpine Dreams series of landscapes and scenes from the western Alps, this time focusing on all the bits and pieces mankind has left behind around the mountains.

Among the highlights, the convent high up in the mountains at Notre-Dame de la Salette, the mediaeval citadel of Sisteron in Provence, the mountain-rimmed waters of the Lac d’Annecy and the city of Grenoble, which famously nestles at the junction of three deep valleys.

If you’d like to buy framed or loose photographic prints from this or any of my other Other Side collections, you can do so over here (link opens in separate window).

The Other Side — Alpine Dreams: The Wild Parts 1 & 2

BLOG PRINT STORE LINK

Returning to the natural world, some new shots and prints released from my Alpine Dreams series, taking in everything from the forests of the pre-Alps to the super-high, super-cold glacier factories of the Ecrins.

Among my favourites, a dead tree struck by lightning stuck halfway between the sky and the ground in the Chartreuse, a stream choked by snow where the car park for a mountain refuge ought to be, a marmot so camouflaged in the boulders he’s almost impossible to find and the weird, weird things that happen to snow when there’s been an avalanche.

If you’d like to browse prints from this selection, they’re available on my site here.

Alpine Dreams: Hydroélectrique

BLOG PRINT STORE LINK

So I have a bit of a thing about dams.

Perhaps, what with there being a French TV series all about zombies hanging around a dam and everything, more people now have a thing about dams than used to.  But I accept that dams are not everyone’s cup of tea.

Nonetheless, there really is something rather compelling and, in its own way, beautiful about building giant walls of concrete halfway up mountains and stopping whole rivers in their tracks.

All these images and more are available to order from my print store.  And, having completely overhauled the kinds of prints I offer, I’m pleased to announce a 10% discount on all prints up to 15 March.  Just use the code “storm”.

PS For true dam geeks only, the seventh shot from the end in this series features an uncommon sight — the Lac d’Emosson’s Barrage de Barberine — now rarely seen in its fully glory because it’s normally underwater.
