Springtime in Valserine forest

Springtime in Valserine forest - Haut Jura Natural Park

 

A few days old image from Haut Jura Natural Park.
The forest contains both deciduous and coniferous trees and this photo is a good illustration of how they blend and contrast.

A green image from this morning.

I returned this morning to Parnant river. I left the place where i had done images about one week ago, walked to the Rhône river and followed it by a little path through the forest.
I walked to an old bridge named Pont de Grésin, stopped there for a few pictures and then explored the forest all around.

This photo was done from the bridge.

 

I've recently read that a famous french writer compared this part of the river to a Mississipi without crocodiles. I can't say if the comparison was right but at least there are no crocodiles !

Winter dusk on Pointe Percee mountain

A winter reminder with this image from march.

Pointe Percée is the highest point of Aravis mountain range with an elevation of 2750 meters.

This image was done from a remote place with a long lens mounted on a APS-C camera. Light was very nice but i had to wait a long time for the wind to stop a little and get something sharp.

 

Note : you can visit the following link to check all my images of Aravis mountains.

Following Parnant river through the springtime forest

Another one from my first visit to Parnant river one week ago. This one gives a better view on the canyon done by the water in this special sandstone named molasse.

All my images of this place can be seen here.
