Flying in the Geneva
Alps in the background, Jura just below... note the dome of "La Dole" (as I was there "on the ground" just the next day)
The French Alps
From the Mt Blanc to the left to the Ecrins on the right... a breathtaking view!

Jet d'Eau
Geneva's iconic shot. This water fountain is 460ft high, and the water speed as it leave the nozzle at the base is around 120mph.
Family of Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra)
Stumbled on the cuties, just after starting up the trail to La Dole. I was on my own, so able to walk fairly quietly... but they weren't too worried about me.

The Alps (and the massif du Mt Blanc) from the Jura
What a view! The Voirons are in front of the Mt Blanc, and to the left, in the haze, the Colline de Ballaison, above Douvaine.
View towards the Alps
Took this, just after running in to those chamois. More info on this short hike is here: https://www.strava.com/activities/4380928095
L' observatoire de la Dole
This is the observatory you may have seen in that first picture in the album: https://www.nicoangleys.com/Vacation-Adventures/Home-Visit-2020/i-nnTCCHP/A
Looking down to the parked car
Mom and dad are in this photo somewhere... (can you find them? I couldn't!) Looking straight down roughly 700ft below.
View on the French Alps
(Can you spot the Jet d'Eau down below, at the end of the lake?)
Ridges and Haze
Winter glory, what a sight!
