Farms
of the Jura in winter
[The
Jura mountains run in a southwest-northeast direction along the border between
France and Switzerland, from Geneva (Genève) to Basel (Bâle), holding at about
1300-1400 meters altitude (4350-4500 feet), and peaking in the range of 1650 meters
(5450 feet). These photos of high alpage farms in winter are mainly from the southwestern
end of that range, between the cities of Geneva and Vallorbe.]

Mont Roux

That's Mont Roux (1258m) from the north -- squatting atop of nob in the confusion of nobs and combes around the Fruitières of Nyon above St Cergue. 14 March 2010

The back of it. We've made a big circle through the hills so far, and now we're going to plunge straight down the forest for getting home with.

A last grateful look at Mont Roux as we immerse ourselves in forests for half an hour or so
