Hi All.
Yesterday me and the Wife decided to go to the Alps, Just a 2 1/2 drive for us.
I took some shots a couple of months back and posted them here.
The weather forecast for yesterday was a mixed bag (so they said) with rain and wind so to our surprise there was no rain but the cloud remained.
This is the Col de la Bonnett, The highest road in Europe at 2800 mts.
We arrived from the North side and did not expect to see what we saw when we turned the corner.
This inversion was immense and the sunset colours on the Mountains was not too bad either.

Erm Thanks Steve, Very nice of you to say this.
Yes we was very fortunate to get the inversion and the colours although I guess there was a band of cloud on the western horizon stopping the real colours coming through and to think I totally fluffed so many shots there cos the wind was strong and I was shivering with 7 deg temps while on the coast it would have been more like 27 degs lol
I do want to go back before they close this Col which will be soon I think.

With a pinch of salt, the opening period is 15th May to 15th Oct but they will close it if they have bad weather.
I`ll have to send you my car dash cam video of when we arrived and turned the corner, it was like W O W
 
Very nice work Graham
