Now back from our lovely holiday to Annecy and Lake Geneva including a cable car ride to the top of Mont Blanc.   Now have to concentrate on choosing an image for this month's Photo' Competition topic, "Peace and Tranquility"; hopefully have some good ones to choose from taken on the holiday.

Yesterday we went over the Swiss border to Montreux, a pretty town on at the eastern end of Lac Leman famous for it's jazz and t.v festivals. There's a fantastic tribute to Freddy Mercury & Queen situated in the casino which used to be Mountain Studio where Queen and several well known artists have recorded. Deep Purple created Smoke on The Water here following a fire at the studio.

This morning we left Annecy to move on to our next destination Thonon les Bains, which overlooks Lake Geneva (Lac Leman). On route we stopped off at the beautiful medieval floral town of Yvois which is absolutely beautiful.   Lots of photo' opportunities.

We're currently on holiday in the Haute-Savoie region of France, staying in the beautiful mediaeval town of Annecy.

A very entertaining cable car ride took us to the top of Mont Blanc for spectacular views across the Alps and the valleys.  We were accompanied on board by a young bride in full regalia who was getting married at the top; now that's a day to remember.

Soon we're off to Annecy, a beautiful medieval town in France near to Mont Blanc and then to the southern side of Lake Geneva.  I'm hoping that there will be many photo' opportunities, particularly for my upcoming Photo' Comp' topic of 'Peace and Tranquilty'.

Annual Photo' Competition

9/9/2014

Since the beginning of 2013, myself, my son and his partner decided to run a photo' competition between ourselves in order to 'get ourselves out' taking pictures and using the camera equipment we have invested in.   
Individual topics for each month were set at the beginning of the year and we 'recruited' some friends as judges.  At the end of each month, we anonomously posted our images onto a dedicated Facebook page, and the judges 'liked' their preferred picture. The results and votes were counted up at the end of the year for the winner to be declared; my son Scott was last years' winner.

We have continued during 2014, with one of last years judges Andrew, becoming one of the contestants.  I will be creating a dedicated page within this website soon to show both last years' and this years images.
