Mont-Ventoux

This shot of the Mont-Ventoux has been taken from FL 90, flying IFR to southern France. The ground may seem quite close for en-route IFR, and it is. In fact the controller asked me a few miles before to climb to FL110, which appears to be the minimum enroute altitude.

As ground was clearly in sight, I negociated with him to maintain FL090. and one passenger could take this amazing shot of Mont-Ventoux, which is frequently a stop in the Tour de France. Its top is above 2000 meters.
