Photo TidbitsChamonix France

By Jim and Emmy Humberd

One of our favorite photos is of this little church and steeple in Chamonix, shadowed by Mt. Blanc. The problem is, the photo company made one print with the snowy mountain sharp and clear, but with the church black, one with church sharp and clear and the mountain all white, and this one, a compromise. Then they lost the slide!

The mountain and the church were still there the next time we visited, but we will have to visit on a bright clear November the 18th, at twenty minutes before 10:00 AM, just after a slight dusting of snow, to be able to recreate that exact picture. That scene is not about to disappear, a one-hundred year old book we have has a photo of the church and the steeple, with the mountain in the background.
