Sunrise from my friends' chalet in La Joue Du Loup, the southern Alps of France. In a cold winter morning with fresh snow decorating the peaks, it is very exciting to be greeted with these fabulous warm colors as a way to start the day. The area is famous for skiing, but there are also many beautiful treks around for those that like to hike. A big snow storm started on the day we arrived at our friend's chalet so our plans to hike the peaks fell through. Instead, our group spent a cosy weekend mostly inside, making fire, playing games, listening to music, drinking wine, cooking and eating lots and lots of french baguettes.
