Another one from our very short trip in the Cévennes National Park about 3 weeks ago.
The caption is Les Pertes du Bonheur. If you ask for a translation, the result should look something like Loss of Happyness.
It's not a sad place but Bonheur is the name of the river and is the french word for happyness. Pertes means loss.
If France, we say we loose a river when it disapears under the ground.
Here, the Bonheur river first crosses a large, dark and wet cave where i could follow it. That's the cave you can devine in the upper right corner of the image.
Then it jumps into a huge and darker one you can't devine here because i was just on the edge and it was in my back when i took the photo. I had no time to explore this second cave but i would really like too ...

Beautiful image, Patrick. I see that you underexposed this photo by 1 1/3 stops. Did you do that on purpose? I often shoot with my Nikon D50 underexposed to some degree. It's like shooting slide film in that you get better saturated colors that way. Of course, you still have to have a good exposure and you've done it well... :-)
Hello Glenn and thank you.
I always shoot raw and expose to the right. The -1/3 correction applied here was just to avoid overexposure in the water.
J'aime beaucoup la perspective, on dirait que l'on est descendue dans un endroit secret où coule la source... ^^
