Photo of the Week – March 1, 2013

The end of February and beginning of March marks les Vacances d’hiver in France. That means, many French families are heading au ski. Some popular ski destinations in France are Val d’Isere, Les Deux Alpes and Courchevel. The French Alps, where this photo was taken, have a wide variety of skiing conditions, which is one of the reasons they are so popular. This black and white image captures the cloudy tipped-mountains in a moment of calm. photo by joe jukes , via Flickr
