Lingering fog as the sun starts hitting the mountain. This picture was taken out of my skylight (see the frame at bottom of photo).
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's super-reindeer!
Looking back at the views from the Alpe d'Huez cimb. Low-hanging clouds.

Huge rock and old building on the Sarenne descent. If you look close on the left there are some massive waterfalls in the background.

Selfie at the top of Deux Alpes.
I ordered a "sausage and frites". Totally disappointed it was basically a kid's item.
The receipt includes a conversion to francs- which went out of circulation over 10 years ago. Apparently some people (especially old people) still think in terms of the franc.
