A slightly different post from normal, with some images of greenery from what was the wettest August I have ever seen in the Alps.

When not being deluged with water we were usually embedded in the low clouds, making any walking and photography interesting in the best proverbial sense.

One thing that really stood out visually was the presence of the colour green. The plants were clearly enjoying the weather better than the humans (and cats) and the foliage produced some very vivid colour while wet.

These photographs are not heavily post processed. Instead, a polarising filter was used to cut down on reflections – resulting in the decidedly luminous colours. Perhaps these should be called pre-processed images.

I hope to upload a few more pictures from the trip over the next few days, as the usual post-vacation overloads begin to subside.
