Evening light in Hérisson waterfalls

Grand Saut waterfall on river Hérisson
Hérisson waterfalls is the name of a famous french waterfalls range in Jura department (see more here).
I returned there a few days ago for the first time since my first visit in 2011 and i was glad to find a decent water level in the river and a kind freshness in the valley.
Grand Saut is not the most well known of all the waterfalls on the river (probably because one has to leave the main path) but i find the place really beautiful.
Note :
All my images about these waterfalls are here.

Clouds and light on the french countryside
Sillingy is a little village in Haute Savoie department. Although it's just near Annecy (the big city), its close surroundings are still quiet and green.
I arrived there in the early morning a few days ago, expecting some nice springtime scenes in the meadows but the rain arrived with me. I had to find a bridge to protect myself during about half an hour. When the weather became temporarily better i could have a short walk and the sun was kind enough to light this beautiful field during a few minutes.

A path through the french countryside
Two days ago i was caught by the rain while making images of the rural landscape around Annecy.
I first found a little forest to protect myself but the rain didn't stop and i drove back. As i was close to home, the rain disapeared and i found this beautiful path i had never seen before. I stopped for a few images and couldn't resit to a little exploration.

Dard waterfall in the mountains of Massif des Bornes
An image from about one year ago of this beautiful waterfall on Bronze river.
I returned there some weeks ago after a few days of storms and strong rain, the waterfall was unrecongnizable and looked like small Niagara falls.

Springtime landscape in the mountains of Haut Jura Natural Park
An image from a june trip in the mountains of Haut Jura Natural Park.
It was a beautiful evening on the valley with sun and clouds in the sky. I really love that place, lost between mountains and forests.

Note 2 : On friday, i discovered and climbed a little mountain behind the ones you can see here. The light was not so beautiful but the view on Jura department was truely amazing. Photos will come soon.

Bouchoux village in Haut Jura natural park
I had a long drive yesterday through the mountains of Haut Jura Natural Park.
My first idea was to explore the higher part of Semine river valley near Belleydoux.
Arrived there, i found a very dull light and a little rain. The valley here looks like to a deep canyon and i think it needs more exploration to find some very interesting points of vue. After a few images i went back to my car and drove deeper in the park.
It led me to the village of Les Bouchoux where i found a beautiful and warm light until the end of the day.

Springtime light in the forest
Somewhere on the cliffs over Fornant river.
During a recent exploration of the lower part of the river, i left the main path to search a nice point of view from the top of the canyon. I wasn't successful in that way but i was seduced by the contrast between green leaves and the dark trunk of this old oak tree.
