Harvest Time
Click image to enlarge.
A
moissonneuse-batteuse harvests wheat in a field above
Lignières. In the distance, directly above the combine, is snow-capped
Mont Blanc, at 4807 metres (or so—I'm not going to get into that debate!) the highest peak in Western Europe. The mountains aren't all that visible through the haze; for more detail, see the
Lignières and the Alps panorama from February 2007.
The picture was taken from
around here on the old Roman road, looking due South.
