Mer de Glace yesterday from a little above Gare du Montenvers. The glacier lost about 200m of depth at this location because of climate change, and around 150m since 1990 only.

Fog in the Swiss Alps. On the coldest winter days, the summits shine in sunlight while thick fog blankets the valleys.
Bernese Alps, Switzerland.

Morigerati in the Cliento National Park, southern Campania. A wonderful region of green mountains, turquoise waters, and villages reaching to the blue sky. July 2025.

Near Grotte del Bussento, Cilento, Campania, Southern Italy. The western coast of Italy is quite rainy. It rains in these mountains 2 to 3 times the amount in London or Paris. #italy #cilento #photography

Rue des Degrés in #Paris. Shortest street in Paris (5.75m x 3.3m). Located in Bonne-Nouvelle, it is just outside where used to stand the wall of Charles V, finished in 1383. The stairs climb a little slope said to be made of rubbish parisians used to throw over the wall. #photography #blackandwhite

Zoropsis spinimana in my living room.
