Ardèche landscape with Gerbier de Jonc mountain
Gerbier de Jonc if probably the most famous mountain in Ardèche and this place is the second most visited by tourists in the department. I think this celebrity comes from its special shape and from the sources of Loire river which are just near. Half a million people pay to climb this little mountain every year...
I've posted yesterday my last batch of images from Ardèche on my website, the new and dedicated gallery is here.

Loire river at its first bridge
Loire river is the longest river in France. It runs during more than 1 000 kilometers from Ardèche department to Atlantic ocean.
Here, near the source it's still a little and wild river running through fields and forest.
Note : For more images and informations about Loire country in center France, you can have a look at Amboise Daily Photo which is one of the many blogs i check every day.

A beautiful house in Saint Pierreville
I'm just back from a short holidays in Ardèche department which is a very beautiful place to visit in France if you love nature.
It was a family trip and i didn't want an heavy and annoying equipment so i just took an old Nikon D200, one short zoom lens and a light tripod.
We mostly stayed in the upper part of the department which is the wildest and the most tranquil. Lower part near Rhône valley is really more touristic.
A first batch of images about villages has been published yesterday on my website. A second one about natural places will be posted soon.

Poisy forest after the rain
Poisy is a village between Annecy and Sillingy. Just near there is a beautiful forest where people love to hike and chase mushrooms.
Yesterday was the first day with no rain for some weeks. I went there for a first visit, expecting some beautiful lush greens.
All the images are on my website.

Garden greenery
Weather in this beginning of summer is ... rainy. My latest serious attempt to landscape photography ended with long drives without even leaving the car.
So, here are a few images of the plants in my garden, done sunday morning between two rain showers.

First sumer days in Massif des Bauges
These little cabins in the fields are very typical of Massif des Bauges. They where used to keep hay and avoid fire risks in the village.
This image was done a few days ago just near La Compôte village.
