Vallorcine - 1984 -- dia 6x6 x - d120croix02v09a84 - series Photo of the week


 

Late summer - for holidaymakers who chose to spend these days in the mountains, this is the time of nice walks.
It's still warm, but not too much, the colors are softly tint of autumn, blue sky tones have strong pastels.

I've always loved walking in middle altitudes, which takes effort, but still leaves the freedom to think, to dream, do not let that always true hiking.

Some images which are the translation.
In passing these few crosses that catch the eye and why I booked other pages
Same for the picture of cattle, which are part of a more comprehensive set of cows

Finally, short definitions Furetière in 1690, in his dictionary :

MOUNTAIN. This is the true mean Mount, and yet there are some places where it employs more pleasantly than others, because they say the mountains of Auvergne, and not the mountains, & they say the Pyrenees Mountains, and not the Pyrenees mountains. A country is a country of mountains & hunchback uneven. This mountain is harsh, difficult to climb. Bandits, the rebels have their retreats in the mountains. This army is not entering the mountains. Household said that this word comes from Montana, who was said to Mons.

Mountain dweller. Who lives in the mountains. The Savoyards are mountain peoples. In Spain the word mountain is honorable, because of the great privileges that were given to the people of Asturias & Biscay, as Anthoine Hebricensis said in his dictionary.

Mount, said he also collectively suite & a concatenation of several individuals of these mountains. In this sense we say, Skip Mountains, to say, go to Italy. And there the Mountains beyond Mountains, to say the below & beyond the Alps.
