About the shot


When the weather is great, night walks are a great adventure. The environment is calm and you strat hearing all the small details.

Night shot at the Faucille.
Note that 25 min with a 16 mm lens is to long because the rotation of the earth produce already a small effect of the position of the stars.



About the story


Jura in the winter offers thousands of possibilities

From le col de la Faucille, you can easily reach the Petit Mont Rond and from there you will have a superbe view on the Leman and on the back, you have the Alps. And in the alignment of the west you have the Mont Blanc. The Mont Blanc is the European highest peak.

There is also another nice place: La Vattay. This is a large cross country ski resort. The nice part are the woods and this gives such a fantastic landscape. This is specially, the case when the snow covers the pine trees.

From the Tiocan, just above Thoiry, there are some very nice trails.
