I apologise for the title of this post if it’s a bit misleading.
Because even on the hottest days, I never get any further than dipping my feet into most of these lakes.
I’d love to swim, but the problem is I have issues with cold water and…
… as the temperature hovers somewhere between 5 – 12°C, I’m too much of a wuss.
In fact, I’ve never managed to go in higher than my knees.
So all things considered, a title such as “My favourite mountain lakes” would probably have been more appropriate.
The mountain dweller 
i would barely dip my toe, as well 😉 you managed to get some great shots, that’s all that matters, eh?!
I’m glad that I’m not the only coward!
These are beautiful photos. Where is this?
Thank you! They were all taken in Les Hautes-Alpes, which is a department in the south east of France.
Thanks ! It really is quite an amazing area.
