A few words about the title :
Bonheur is the french word for Happiness and it's also the name of this river running through the Cévennes National Park in south of France.
I was there for some family reasons at the end of march and i spent one day in the Vallée du Bonheur.
It was the first time i went there and i've to say that it's surely a wonderful place for landscape photography. The river runs through some wet (at least at spring) fields surrounded by some beautiful forests of beeches and various coniferous trees.
This day we had bad, windy and rainy weather emphasizing the wild aspect of the landscapes all around.
With my wife, daughter and friends we hiked along the valley during one afternoon.
This image was done at the beginning of our walk and is one of the very few usable photo i took this day. Most of the others were "damaged" by rain drops splashed on my lens.
In such conditions, one have to operate quickly : compose the image without the camera, evaluate the light, setup the tripod, unpack the camera, set exposure, focus and pack all in a dry place.

Quel beau paysage, me suis-je exclamée quand j'ai vu ta photo. Ce lieu regorge d'endroits à photographier, il n'y pas de doute. La météo était contre toi, pas toujours facile de prendre des clichés lorsque la pluie est de la partie.
Il m'est arrivé également de ruiner bons nombres de photo à cause des gouttes de pluie collées à ma lentille. Grrr! ;)
