November 22, 2025, View from Croix du Chef-Lieu over Lake Annecy

Each of these crosses, which the traveler often encounters in the fields or, as here, on the mountaintops—in this case combined with a beautiful view of the lake and the opposite shore—is a sign commemorating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. “Here on earth, His memory exists, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. Remembrance is our comfort, we who are still wanderers, traveling toward our homeland.” (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090–1153)

The many lichens, ferns and mosses on the trees fit very well into a fairy forest.
