Don’t often see diamond dust mixed with a sundog sparkling in the sun, right in front of you on a fine day on a snowy, mountainous ski slopes of France. The upper part of the snowy mountain looks like it is in shadow, while the foreground is in the sun. Can see all the skiers on the top of the snowy mountain taking in the breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside before skiing down the snowy slopes to the bottom.
