The Valserine river runs in Haut Jura Natural Park.
It's a small river : a little less than 50 km long. It starts in the mountains near the Faucille pass and ends in the Rhône river at Bellegarde sur Valserine.
We have some friends living in the valley under the Faucille pass. That's about 50 km far from our home but climates are very differents. The place where they live is probably one of the coldest in France :)
So, i often take the road through the Valserine valley.
I was first seduced by the beautiful mountain forest and spent many and unsuccessful days exploring it but never found any interesting place for photography.
During one of these tries, i noticed a little path which seemed to go to the river.
So on june 20, i left home before dawn and drove to the path's entrance. Then i walked about 10 minutes through the forest until i arrived to a beautiful old bridge over the river. I left the path and walked along the river bed.
It was really a beautiful place with little waterfalls between mossy rocks.
I spent about two hours making images all around. I choose this one to post here today because it features the forest as well as the river.
I plan to return soon to explore the place more deeply. Perharps will i also find a nice place for forest photography ...
