If you will go to Holidays too Have a nice Holidays to you!

Saluti da Torino, Mimi

yves floret, on July 20, 2008, said:

Congratulations to your husband for his photo at the Lac du Mont Cenis. It's an idea for me next fall or winter for see and capture the lac wholly frozen. I have no Holidays but my vacations are at work in the mountains.

Have a nice Holidays.

Saluti di Savoia.

Yves

Thanks yves!

I will tell him! He likes also your photos a lot. I make him to see them. Hope you take a look also at other your photos in Lac du Mont Cenis.

Yes you have really nice holidays in mountain but from time to time to go to the sea is not so bad.

Howsoever, enjoy your time in mountain, now it is beautiful to stay also there!

I too prefer mountain but should go also for a while to the Black Sea

Saluti da Torino, Mimi

Wow! Quel lieu magnifique! Superbes nuances de bleus, on sent le froid. Était-ce le cas? Amitiés Jean

yves floret, on August 27, 2008, said:

Bonsoir Jean. Cette photo date du 28 novembre 2007 et il ne faisait pas très froid, peut-être -6 ou -8° C. La glace commençait juste à prendre sur les bords du lac dont le remplissage venait d'être terminé. Il s'agit d'une retenue artificielle de 130 000 m3 d'eau qui a été réalisée par l'entreprise où je travaille pour le compte de la station de ski de Courchevel en Savoie. Cette eau est utilisée pour le fonctionnement des installations d'enneigement ainsi que pour l'alimentation en eau potable.

Merci pour cet agréable commentaire.

Amitiés de Savoie. Yves

Bonjour Evar. Ce lac a été construit pour assurer l'alimentation en eau potable de la station de ski de Courchevel en Savoie ainsi que pour la fabrication de neige par les installations spécialisées.

Merci pour cet agréable commentaire.

Encore bravo Yves pour cette magnifique photo! À chaque fois que je la regarde, je me dis que j'aimerais bien y être! Le lieu est vraiment superbe et ta photo le rend très bien. Sûrement le plus beau lac artificiel de la planète! (°_°)

salutations de Québec

Jean

yves floret, on October 21, 2008, said:

Bonsoir Jean. La raréfaction de la neige a rendu indispensable l'aménagement de telles retenues aussi bien pour la fabrication de neige que pour l'alimentation en eau potable. Cependant, les conditions de prélèvement de l'eau sont très strictes et les autorisations nécessaires pour des aménagements comme celui-ci demandent des années d'études et ne sont données que si de multiples critères sont respectés. C'est ainsi que l'intégration paysagère doit être particulièrement réussie comme c'est, je pense le cas ici.

Merci beaucoup pour ton aimable commentaire.

Amitiés de Savoie.
