One more image of Seran river, somewhere above Thurignin Gorges.

All my images of this river are here.

Canyon waterfall

Canyon waterfall

 

That's a little canyon close to my home i discovered 4 years ago and never returned since.
Sunday evening the rain was nice enough to stop a little bit and i thought the waterfall could be nice. The path was barely a track in the mud, the forest looked like a jungle but the waterfall was really not impressive ...

Seran river runs through the hills and mountains in Valromey, makes a big jump in Cerveyrieu waterfall and after a few more kilometers joins Rhône river.

A one month old image, done while i was hiking along Valserine river, in search of a special place.

One of the reasons of my visit to Valromey area one week ago was i wanted to make images of this waterfall.

Valromey is the name of an area in Ain department where you can find rolling hills, little mountains, quaint villages and many many rivers and ponds.

It's about one hour drive from where i live and i went there on Friday to discover a river i had eared of.
Hiking through the hills, i was seduced by this pretty view.

Usual readers will certainly recognize this view.
I had images of this lake in summer and autumn, this one is just from a few days ago.

Semine river is another wild and beutiful river in Ain department.
This image was done a few meters before the junction with Valserine river.

Another image of a beautiful hike along Chéran river. Not the most easy place to reach but the view worth the effort.

I usually avoid cities and crowds but when went to Thonon les Bains some weeks ago i had in mind to make pictures of some natural beaches and of the pier. So i left my car in the city and had a very nice (and long walk) along the lake.
