leisurely lake promenade





Today, i was picked up by N. and her two daughters. I was transported the most wonderful, little secret lake, only kilometres from Gap.

The french sign says that it is strictly forbidden to swim in the lake. Well, it was easy to take that advice. I decided not to go for a swim, after all. (Yeah, right!)



The massive mountains were stunning. Check out the drop of the cliff in the middle of the picture. apparently, it is a world famous area for mountain climbing. (You need serious equipment to conquer this baby!)

The little wooden cabins in the foreground by the edge of the lake,  are where people come to spend their summer holidays.




At this time of the year, normally this area is covered in snow. So, the ski fields here, are not open at the moment.





The petit lake was a picture of beauty in the low, afternoon sun.





Too cute!





In only a few kilometres of climbing in the car, the air temperature was astoundingly cold!





The local walks around these rocky peaks was pointed out to me.


Fantastic!
