Do you people know how hard it is to get a shot of the infamous Mont Blanc? Seriously Internet. When we walk by it every day and try to shoot it with a "point and shoot" camera (the only one I take on dog walks), the results are less than fabulous. The snow washes out against the sky and it doesn't compare at all to real life.
Here are a few basic facts about Mont Blanc:
Yesterday, at the intersection to choose between a farms walk or a forest walk, the husky hesitated and pointed toward the longer walk---the forest. The skies were foreboding. But I was dressed for rain so who am I to argue with the husky?
Obviously, she had the right idea, because the skies had the perfect lighting for that ridiculously bright white mountain. I was able to get these shots with just the point and shoot camera. I metered the light for the dark sky which illuminated the mountain more.
What can I say? The husky knows her photography.
Winter Mont Blanc Work-Day Procrastinations:
Finally, Internet procrastinations that are worth it. You can thank me after your boss nails you for it. But you're welcome.

wooo it is a beautiful mountain, just ruined by the amount of people on it. Hu'dad used to guide there and summited at least 25 times. You need to get yourself to Chamonix and have a closer looksie 🙂
My procrastination is legitimate - we had some network issues, and my database was beyond reach.... 🙂 As for the 'Wow, that's white"? Um. Yeah. They don't call it Mont BLANC for NOTHING ya know! Ditto on the 'get thyself to Chamonix' - even if you don't like snow. It's amazing. Other than blocking out all the scenery, and blinding everyone with its inherent whiteness... On a moderately related note, I think you should just live in Suisse-land permanently - I need my regular dose of alpine photos! And yes, while I live in an alpine setting, the Rockies aren't the same as the Alps - both very pretty, but very different (mostly because the Rockies lack the picturesque cows wearing bells, I think!).

Wow, what a beautiful shot. 🙂
in pure awe! now it just needs some husky to stand on the top!
Which is just proof that you should always listen to the Sibe. What could possibly go wrong?
