photo hunt: h e a v y


themes · home ·


This was indeed not a light theme...I opted for the pictured Saliure lift in Courchevel, French Alps, a 160- person cable car. Heavy machinery, heavy cable car! specially lovely after a heavy snowfall (so spoke the skier!) And cheers to the clever engineers!

  35. Wow, that's a lot of people to have together. I probably wouldn't want to ride when its almost full because there might be a snap somewhere. I hope not. Yup, heavy, indeed!

  48. Heavy yes, but they always make me nervous for just that reason. Such a thin wire to hold up such a heavy object, full of heavy people and skiing equipment.

    Good choice.
