France – Chamonix – Full Moon Night at Lac de Chesery
To be exact, it was a 90% full moon night Nevertheless, spending a night at Lac de Chesery is always an amazing experience. The breathtaking scenery of illuminated mountains (Dome du Gouter, Mont Blanc, Aiguille du Midi, Mont Maudit, Grandes Jorasses, Aiguille de Triolet..) by the full moon and the amazing reflection at Lac de Chesery is every effort worth. I didn't used a tent (only sleeping bag) because the night was mild and the sky was bright with stars. I counted seven falling stars, placed one wish and fell asleep....
Enjoy the Mont-Blanc scenery.

Gerry
