Heat has consequences


So this afternoon as planned we drove from Ruy to Lac Aiguebelette, near Chambery, for some relaxing time by the lake. Here folks would either chill out and picnic in the sunshine or the lucky ones would take a boat out.



Others would stroll out to the shore and take in the landscape and the wildlife. All in all a sublime Sunday afternoon..



Until somethings dark and nasty started to creep their way over from the mountains, not many but knowing Alpine weather in the summer we decided to move on.



This proved right as the views from the Col de la Crusille show on the way back.



A full scale Alpine thunderstorm was now raging in the location we were sunbathing in less than an hour ago. We managed to get home in time and within 5 minutes Ruy was being hit by a very nasty storm which went on for some time. Looks like I spoke too soo about summer then....
