Winter has barely turned into spring here in Chamonix and yet the first bathers have been spotted in Lake Passy at the bottom of the valley. Making the most of school holidays, this bevvy of beauties couldn't get their kit off quick enough before plunging into the murky depths of the lake; and my don't they look like they are having fun!! Firm believers in the old adage "the colder the air the warmer the water feels" they didn't put up much of a struggle when rescue services were alerted to take them away. Sadly the photographer was left blinded by the reflective glare of the flash on their post winter flesh.
