November is a bit depressing because this is what it looks like every single day.
Never-ending gray clouds.

French Alps Tours
Join us on a small group tour of the French Alps June 4-11 or September 3-10, 2011. Wander the Medieval town of Annecy, nicknamed the Venice of the French Alps, and take a boat ride on its crystal blue lake. Do you like pampering yourself on your vacations, then why not spend an afternoon at the Aix les Bains thermal baths inside your lakeside hotel? Are you the adventurous type? Then take a horseback ride in the Alps or fly through the trees at the High Ropes Adventure. Are you a foodie? Taste local chocolates, cheeses, wines and walnut oils. But don't just taste it - cook it too at a cooking class taught by one of Grand Bornand's best chefs and restaurateurs. Are you a history buff? Then satisfy your curiosity at Lyon's Old Town or Vienne's Roman Temple and Forum. Or just enjoy watching the hang gliders and sunset at a catered outdoor dinner on the top of a mountain overlooking Annecy's lake. See you in the French Alps!Expats & Blogs

Same over here, though I think the ceiling’s a little lower here! It’s pretty gloomy…but I like knowing Gluehwein season is upon us…

Yeah, it’s something like that around Rouen too. I have to say, at the beginning I worked to find nice things about it, you know? Like, look for the poetry in the sweeping grey clouds. And each day they seem a little less romantic, a little less inviting. What I wouldn’t do for a little bit of sun…

Hi Jennie,
We are all getting this “blah” feeling here at this time of year. I don’t know, you being in the Alps; do you ski or do winter sports?
i use all the possible “pick ups” I have to keep me going. Not neglecting long walks on the better days. Excercise helps you feel better.
Take care.,
Barbara ( formerly from “Home in France”)

The clouds are interesting though, they looked like they are brushed on the sky.

This is definitely something I want to see when I wake up in the morning. Looks so peaceful and nice!

I forgot to ask, is there anywhere in Indonesia where we can find similar scenery?
