Description

Location: Tignes Les Boisses, Val d'Isère, Savoie department, Rhône-Alpes, France

Another view from a hike I went on high in the French Alps. This is Lac du Chevril, the lake that formed after the dam was built along this valley after WWII to provide cheap Hydro power. Although I am not entirely a fan of flooding pretty valleys I must say that this particular lake had a majestic Fjord like quality to it and it was a lovely colour in the sunshine ;)

I hope this is balanced well enough in terms of sharpness and exposure. I edit my pictures in section but sometiems it can result in the far off background looking sharper than the foreground :p
