Alpine pastures

During the Tour de France all the big Alpine climbs are lined with campervans galore, and some of the beautiful minutiae is lost.  However, during my solitary climb of the Galibier, I was struck by the extravagant colour of the flora and had to stop to take a photograph (and have a rest!). And on the way down? ..... A marmotte, stood on a rock, surveying his kingdom. A memorable moment.
