'Some of the Aiguilles of Chamonix' (labeled)
John Ruskin
1854
Despite this painting was considered as showing the Grandes Jorasses (like here: christies.com/en/lot/lot-5...), it rather represents the Grands Charmoz from the vicinity of Signal Forbes! 🏔️
What do you think? 🧐

About 25yrs ago, I was near Chamonix /Grenobles and had a local dish - A Savoyard Tartfilette,
Potato onion lardon and reblochon cheese all cooked in a cast iron pot
I often think about this dish.

Vous, des gens normaux : "Wow, Cairn a l'air super cool et diablement original !"
Moi, un cerveau supérieur : "Tout ça, de la gestion du sac à dos à la manipulation séparée des 4 membres en passant par le choix de la trajectoire, existait déjà en 1987 dans Bivouac : Chamonix Challenge sur Amstrad."

a panorama photo i took in Chamonix France showing the milky way and Mont Blanc. This was shot in September 2025 with the Canon R7 and RF 16mm 2.8 lens. Five photos were merged and edited in Lightroom. #astrophotography #landscape

Worn #onthisday in 1924 by the British curling team at the Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France. While most Olympians did not yet wear uniforms, a Union Jack patch on the left sleeve identifies team members. The British team won the curling competition and placed third overall. #OTD @gettyimages.com

Pierre de Coubertin only begrudgingly endorsed the 1st ‘official’ winter Olympics (Chamonix 1924) after his good friend and organizer of the Nordic Games, Viktor Balck, retired from the IOC. See Pérez-Aragón & Viuda-Serrano’s paper doi.org/10.1080/0952... #sporthistory #skystorians #friendshipfirst

The first Winter Olympics weren’t originally called that. The 1924 Paris Olympic organizers planned an International Winter Sports Week earlier in the year in Chamonix. Afterwards the IOC called them the 1st Winter Olympics. #olympics #sporthistory #skystorians 🗃️

Chamonix Valley - raw, untamed beauty of The Alps just moments before a snowstorm. This oil painting captures the moody atmosphere of the valley, where dramatic clouds gather above rugged peaks and the air feels electric with anticipation.

I bought an older ULF studio camera at an auction about a year ago.
The original lens board was so brittle that it isn’t safe to use, so I made adapters from birch plywood for Sinar and Chamonix lens boards.
