Mont Rond at Night

About the shot


Mont Rond at Night

Mont Rond at Night, this was one of the first night walks on the Mont Jura.
So not everything was perfect and it was cold. but worth every freezing moment up there.
For this shot, there was a lot of light from the city and the restaurant as well. 30 second was a bit too much because of the 16 mm lens, you can see the small drift on 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.
