Chamonix

Jump to Comments

Quick post ’cause I have to leave in 20 min.

Last weekend, I went to Chamonix, a town/city in the middle of the Alps. It’s ~1km above sea level and the view is amazing. Went up to one of the peaks which has an elevation of more than 3000m and just kept taking photos.

Also went paragliding, or voler (fly) en parapente. A little scary at take-off (from ~2km above sea level) and jumped down to the town. Expensive, but totally worth it for the experience. Took videos, but I have a problem with transferring them, so I’ll have to cross my fingers and hope that there’s a website somewhere that can help.

Finally, after looking my photos through, I’ve come to a conclusion that very few people can take good photos of me. I only have a handful that I like. Whereas other people are just really good models and they have lots of good photo opportunities.

Some of my classmates went for Lyon Gay Pride on Saturday, and they said it was an eye-opener. I’m hoping to go for Paris’ two weeks from now, I’m sure it’ll be even better.
