Today it is a special day, are three years that I participate to TE, and in order to celebrate this event I post my 500th photo, hope you still have the want of some other... :)

*************** From here ***************

The ski resort of Le Collet d'Allevard is situated in the Belledonne area of the Isère department in the Northern Alps region. The lift served area extends from 1450 metres to 2100 metres. There are 35 km of lift served runs. It boasts one of the largest floodlit areas of piste skiing in Europe and is a firm favourite with afterwork skiers. The resort has recently installed 5 hectares of artificial snow cover. The resort opens at the beginning of December and runs through until mid April.

Their is tree lined skiing for much of the domain and also has a large 'out-of-bounds' ski area under the Super Collet lift giving skiers a varied off-piste experience in an area secured by pisteurs.


History

Born in 1877, Antoine Cros discovered the pays d'Allevard during cycling trips in the early 1900s while he was an apprentice barber in nearby Aix-les-Bains. He fell in love with the Haut-Bréda area and climbed many of the summits.

During the Great War a hospital was set up by the American YMCA in the Hotel Splendid in Allevard to treat American soldiers. Often from Norwegian backgrounds these men introduced skis to the area although in those days there were no ski pistes and mountains were climbed with seal skins fixed to the bottom of skis not with lifts. At the end of hostilities Antoine Cros managed to buy 28 pairs of these "odd planks" for the princely sum of 1400 old Francs and began to teach the youth of the area how to descend the surrounding slopes.

The first two competitions were organized over Christmas 1922 at Gleyzin and then in February 1923 at la Piat close to Pinsot. Finally on the 13th of March 1923 with the aid of Albert Feugier and Dr Laurent Chataign the Ski-Club Allevardin was founded. There is a statue to Antonie Cros, who died in 1968, in Allevard.

The first lifts were built in 1955 and the resort celebrated its 50th anniversary with a book tracing the history of skiing in the area.

Hi Vinicio,
Congratulations for your 500th picture!
It is perfectly composed, a nice winter paysage with magnificent loght and colors!
Have a nice day!!!!

Rossy

Hello Vincio,

This is simplicity that works with maximum impact. The low angle perspective is well managed making the ground as the horizon which is stunning against that otherwise a spotless blue sky. The sunlight, the trees a man and the white streak in the sky are more than just enough to create a brilliant perspective. Well done and thanks for sharing this pleasant hues of blues.

Well done and best regards,
Jusni

Ciao Vinicio,
certo che sì, almeno altre 500, tre anni su TE, uno splendido traguardo, congratulazioni. Un'immagine molto emblematica per celebrare, con pochi colori, ma meravigliosamente amalgamati e con una luce fantastica, l'uomo e l'aereo nel cielo rompono il senso di solitudine, come tu giustamente dici nel titolo. Bravo, ancora una volta e ad majora!
Stella

Hi Vinicio,
So you did go up to mountains and not just admired them from a valley. Splendid!
Contrail is a little detail but makes wonder to add add interest to empty sky. I like the way ski tracks show on shadowy snow.
Congratulations for three years and 500 photos!

Bonjour Vinicio,
cela fait un peu carte postale de nouvel an. J'aime ces mabiances enneigées, quand le soleil joue ainsi avec les surfaces mais aussi les arbres et provoque des ombres sur la neige.
parfaitement cadré.
Bien )à toi.
daniel.

Hello Vinicio,

Congratulation for your 500th post!
For once I like the plane in the air! It looks just like a annoncement!

Have a great day!

Bonjour Vinicio
Superbe cliché avec le soleil qui illumine les sapins givrés et le personnage qui anime tout cet espace bleuté.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hi Vincio,
that is a tremendous picture. Just perfect to celebrate your 500th and to show us that you donot walk alone! Indeed very meaningful composition. The contrast is good, sharpness is also very nice. Overall a perfect compo.

regards

Sayan

Hello Vinicio and congratulations on your 3 years, and 500 posts. I can't even imagine posting that many shots. It is quite an accomplishment.

This is an interesting scene with the sun shining through the conifers and the man on the snow covered hill. The contrail from the jet helps add balance to the shot as well. Great colour, with excellent notes.

Thanks, John

Hello Vinicio,

This landscape is very nice. The natural blue hues are very attractive and enhance the feeling associated with snowy places. The faint image of the skier is very interesting as he seems to hide himself among the pines. The jet line on the sky look great and add a nice tocuh to the immense blue sky. Thanks Vinicio.

Roberto

Congratulations my dear friend. You have chosen really amazing photo for your splendid jubilee. Amazing winter scenery with deep sky.
Really impressive.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards!

Ciao Vinicio,

Bellissimo! Very nice scene shot in low angle view. The light is fantastic and I really like the feeling of wide open space.

Complimenti! Bravo for the 500th photo + 3 years!

Tre anni e cinquecento imagini. Congratulazioni Vinicio- che bon imagine ed il titolo per questa occasione. We walk alone but we share our heart and thoughts with others and the TE community can be a balm on those days when we fell we have no anchor.beautiful light and uplifting PoV that includes those journeying across the sky. Bravo e complimenti. Klaudio.

Appena 500????
Su datti da fare!

Scherzo, sono state 500 bellissime foto.

Questa è anche notevole, costruta con la luce e con quel segno nel cielo verso il predestinato personaggio.
Incredibile come hai tirato fuori dettagli anche dalla neve controluce in primo piano

Ciao e congratulazioni!

Livia

Hi Vinicio,

Unique blue colors and very nice composition!
Interesting shot. Well done,
Luc

Hi Vinicio, congratulations for the 500th posting, wow incredible!!! This is a very nice photo. There are a few things that I reaaly like on this one, the man coming out of the top, the trail of the plane in the air, the sun behind the trees. They all make for a perfect comopsition.
Good job and congrats again!!!!

Daniel

Congratulation with this 500th, hope to see many more from you, this one seems simple but the light is wonderful and so is the PoV and the captured moment itself with the sun behind the trees and the man between them.

Cheers
Alexander

Hello Vinicio,

Lovely winter scene. I really like the snow covered landscape, and the blue sky. It makes winter worth while. A lovely scene. TFS.

Belle photo pour votre 500eme photo, jolies couleurs et bonne netteté de ce je supose être le lever de soleil que vous avez pris partiellement caché par ces superbes sapins, de cette manière vous en avez eu l' éclairage mais pas la surex.
ce personage donne un plus a votre photo. Bien vu, bien prise et bien choisie pour un 500eme post, je ne suis pas sur que j' y arriverais a la vitesse ou je poste.

Amitiés Thomas

Simple mais très beau avec ce soleil rasant et ces silhouettes qui se détachent bien des crêtes.
Excellent cadrage
BoisBarb

Wow...what a great achievement, congratulation Vinicio. Very beautiful photo for celebration 500th pictures and three years joined TE. Every details are very nice especially the white line against the superb blue sky. Very well done my friend, thanks :-)

daniel

Hi Vinicio,
I like the sheer simplicity of this image. The two backlit trees on the left are nicely balanced off by the jet stream approaching from the upper right. Well managed light and good colors. Well done and TFS. Gerald

Ciao Vinicio,
Mi chiedevo ciò che andavi offrirci per il tuo 500 e post... Non pensavo ad una fotografia di neve. Quale fotografia! Relazione tra natura, modernità e posto dell'uomo... molte idee in una fotografia in cui la semplicità della grafica e del colore, il gioco dell'ombra e della luce portano la bellezza.
Molto grande "VINICIO"
Bravo
Diane

Ciao Vinicio
complimenti per il traguardo... è stata dura ma ce l'hai fatta!!..
Grande anniversario, grande foto, grande significato: bravissimo!
Un caro saluto, buon week end
Freddy

Complimenti Vinicio per la splendida cinquecentesima e per il terzo anniversario su TE, hai fatto bene ad attendere fino ad oggi, così la festa è più grande.
Bellissima la tua cinquecentesima, di gran livello come le altre 499, la luce che trapela tra gli alberi è superba, bella la silhouette dello sciatore, la scia dell'aereo sembra una cometa che viene per festeggiare con noi, Bravissimo Vinicio, ti aguro altri 30 anni su TE ed altre cinquemila foto belle come questa, ciao Silvio

ciao Vinicio, una foto bellissima per celebrare i 3 anni e la 500esima.
la luce, i colori, la definizione sono tutti ad ottimi livelli, ma il punto di scatto, guardando verso l'alto, in lieve controluce è veramente splendido!
complimenti, e buona notte!

ciao Vinico ,
complimenti per il traguardo raggiunto , mi sembra azzeccata la foto per celebrarlo .
mi raccomando domani non mangiare troppo .... sai a una certa eta' ....

500 foto in 3 anni non sono poche, anche se i complimenti te li devo fare non solo per il numero e per l'anzianità, ma più che altro per la distinta qualità dei tuoi lavori. A volte le tue immagini sono come i quadri del rinascimento, che se li osservi bene, scopri sempre che il piccolo particolare, che spesso sfugge ai frettolosi, cela il messaggio e lo stato d'animo dell'autore.
Per festegguare il tuo traguardo, anche se per me i traguardi spesso sono punti di partenza, non potevi scegliere immagine più bella. Complimenti.
Paolo.

Bonsoir Vinicio,
Felicitation pour ton 500 eme post,
Une composition simple et grande en meme temps, j'aime les reflets du soleil aux travers ces arbres , l'ombre de cette personne est bien choisi pour ton POV, bravo.

Hi Vinicio
Congratulations for thr 3th in the Trekearth !
A great composition to celebrate that. Excellent POV and light here. Very well framed and done
Greetings
Aires

Ciao Vinicio,

mi chiedo come hai fatto a convincere il pilota dell'aereo a passare proprio in quel momento. E' stata la ciliegina sulla torta, la luce che "incendia" gli alberi è semplicemente straordinaria.

Complimenti!

Gio

Vinicio,
that is a real achievement that shows your devotion to photography and TE. 500 posts in 3 years? Not bad at all, really! ... and I know the quality of most of them due to discovering your galery pretty soon when I started at TE and wrote many critiques that were actually more a praise than real critiques. Glad that you decided to come back to TE community after a long pause. Keep it going my friend because your shots are always a real delight and this one is not an exception!
Peter

Hi Vinicio, Very beautifully composed, gorgeous lighting, the POV to block out the sun is perfect &, I love the jet stream in that wonderfully clear sky, a very crisp 500th posting congratulations, kind regards Wilson.

Congratulations for your 500 pictures here on TE. It is an outstanding achievement. And nothing better than the marvellous picture like the one you are offering to commemorate the day. The blue sky with the plane is beautiful but what really makes this shot is the man and the back lit trees on his left. Well done.
Antonio

Ciao, Vinicio,
Primo - congratulations on both 3 years and your 500th photo! It is really beautiful. I love the way you have divided it with the snowy mountain foreground and the sky. I love backlighting and that coming through the trees is awesome. I really like the person in the shot and the jet flying over, too. Wonderful blue tones in this. Great shot!! Molto grazie and warmest regards,
Shelly
