Today's Photo

17 May

 

Here's La Face today. There's still a lot of snow up high, and the Grande Motte looks fantastic, but in spite of a blizzard yesterday and -4º this morning, you'd have to take off your skis a couple of times to get down the Face now. It's not surprising: it faces due east, and the noonday sun is already higher in the sky here than it ever is in Britain.
