MOUNT JURA: a majestic gateway to the Alps - 4K

The Mount Jura, or actually Monts Jura in French, is a sub-alpine mountain chain located north of the western Alps in France. It peaks at 1720 meters (Crêt de la Neige) and is home to a wide variety of sub-alpine fauna and flora. As I was spending a few days vacation at my parents' house for Christmas, I took advantage of the location to go out and shoot between all the celebration. The mountain range offers an ideal spot for beautiful landscapes and low-mountain photography and is great for day-light skyscapes. Although the Jura is barely suitable for wide angle astrophotography without light-pollution-reducing filters, it is a great location to shoot forest scenes and fauna. What I like about the mountains? It is merely a butte where you can take tremendous panorama pictures of the Alps. The just range delivers a 360-degree view and an astounding 180-degree vista over the Alps with the cherry-on-top: Mont-Blanc (4810m) in the background. In the video I was able to capture expansive and wide angle views of the fastly-moving sea of clouds that otherwise cover the Leman lake valley. You can also witness Geneva turning on its street lights during sunset against the magnificent light-reflected Alps chain in the background. I even managed to capture rare iridescent clouds right above Mount Blanc. In a nutshell, you should probably add the Jura mountains to your itinerary. It also provides ski in the winter and a wide array of outdoor activity year-round! I can't wait to go back and hike the beautiful trails of these mountains! All was taken with Sony a7r2 and Nikon D5300. I hope you enjoy my video as much as I enjoyed spending hours outside shooting. Don't hesitate to like, share and subscribe for more 4K videos.
