What amazing pictures! I want to go there, lol. I love how the first one looks like glacier ice busting through limestone and in the second one he's she's stemming two huge pillars.

Thanks for the lovely wishes and vgift, Hazel. I've got the warm fuzzies now to start my day... and yes, I'm keeping that icon. : D

I can't quite remember the name of the location, it's something like Quasne--it begins with a Q anyway! So useful, me! lol

Pleasure! :D The warm fuzzies are a good start to a day!

It bugged me, so I went and looked it up. :) The first picture was professionally taken in La Queyras mountains near Ceillac in the Hautes-Alpes, France.

I found a holiday report about it--one of the few Google hits that weren't in French! lol

Thanks so much. It sounds beautiful. I want to go dangle my toes in Lac Miroir and admire all the blue gentians. And the little village of St. Veran looks like my kind of place to read a book and eat lunch.

Just maybe when I finally get to see Rome (have never been!) I can sneak through this spot too.

I once did a study abroad in France, but this isn't one of the areas I visited. The closest I got was Chamonix or coastal Provence.

How interesting! I'd like to hear your impressions of Chamonix or coastal Provence some day. The closest I've come to France is Jersey. :p
