High in the Monts-Valin, there is a special place called La Vallée des fantômes or the Valley of the Ghosts. This snowshoeable trail is well known for it's incredible precipitations (up to six meters of snow!). When snow falls, the evergreen trees are so covered, they really look like ghosts. As for the others, their branches are delicately covered with crystals of ice, transforming them into «mummies». At last, after a climb up to an altitude of 980 m, we are faced with a 369 degree of the valleys around. No words can describe it well enough, so here are some pictures.Saturday, December 26, 2009

There's only 360 degrees in a circle :-) Very beautiful pictures.
I meant to tell you on Skype the other morning (night for you) that I have been sharing these pictures with ALL of my classes. I ask them if they want to see ghosts and the say YES and then I show them your photos. Usually they can hardly believe the snow, but many, many of them know Canada well and so they love learning this little fact about Quebec and they love the idea of a place so extreme that it is named for the impossibility of it.
Me again - you have to go look at Mary's pictures of the snow in Stockholm right now. I know she has written in Swedish, she is talking about how beautiful it was.
