I wonder if there's anyone going to Flaine in the next few weeks (with a
digital camera or cameraphone) who would be able to do me a favour?

What I would like is for someone to email me (my first name at gmail dot
com) a photo of the orange elevator that connects Flaine Forum with Flaine
Foret, the one running up the hill from behind the building with the
tourist information office and shops in it up to in front of the P&V
apartments.

The reason is that we were in Flaine a couple of weeks ago, and my
two-year-old was very taken with this "orange lift train" - at first he was
afraid of it, though fascinated, and then at the end of the week he plucked
up courage to go in it and decided he loved it. Two weeks later he's still
talking about it, far more than about the snow or anything else about the
holiday! Unfortunately, it turns out that we don't have it in any of our
photos. It would be lovely to have a photo of it, if someone could take one
without needing to go to too much trouble. (My husband did google for a
photo; found an archived thumbnail where one had been, but it had been
taken down; emailed the apparent address of the owner, but no response.)

I'd be really grateful, and you'd get a lovely warm feeling of having made
a toddler happy... please?

What I meant to say was when you get to the picture right click on it then "save image as"
