There are places you just can’t get enough. Mont Jallouvre in the Bargy chain is one of them. Although the place is pretty busy during weekends, it is still very generous in wildlife, especially at dusk when everybody’s gone. After years and years of wildlife persecution, most of the Alps’s historical inhabitants are back and it’s a pleasure for the eyes. Naturally, climbing up Mont Jallouvre with all my gear (including a 1D III) was an intense pain in the XXX but fortunately it was rewarding. The place offers a unique view on the whole Bargy chain (#6) and at dusk in the background, the Mont Blanc (#4) even says goodnight.

Ibex, chamois, deers and even the rarest among the rarest bearded vulture (not in the pictures) and their huge and consistent environment, what else could a photographer ask for ? Something I’m really keen on is how everything is linked together artistically. Colors, shapes, temperature, even sounds and scents, a wild environment just makes sense, it’s not there for to please you, because its “handy” or because A+B=C, no, it’s just there, you’re allow to pass through it and that’s it.
For curious people, entire trip made with a Canon 5D II + 17-40L + 70-200 f/4 IS, best quality/weight ratio, which is the most important in the Alps
