Route of the smugglers Photo

Photographer’s Note

The route known as the “Route of the smugglers".
I took this photo from the Port de Cabús (2.320 m), limit between Andorra and Spain, and where one enters the region of the Pallars Sobirà. In the low right side one sees the Coll de la Botella (2069m), the same place where I took this photo and this other one.

The WS is another capture from the Coll de la Botella, with a sight on Pal-Vallnord's winter sports resort.

Hola mi amigo Josep,

Horizontal, long road shows your excellently fixed POV how works wonderfully. I like your way adding next mountains in different toned silhouettes and amazing cloudy sky. A very good one in natural colors and sharpness. Great addition of complementary post. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Hallo Josep!
A landscape to fall in love with ... and this sky - gorgeous! A landscape picture like from the fairy tale book. Perhaps something in the foreground would have been god ...
Greetings from again summerly (27°C) Germany!

Josep bonjour.
J'aime la simplicité et la beauté qui se dégagent de la photo. Les montagnes ont une présence comme évidente. Elles changent de couleurs selon leur éloignement de l'observateur. Le ciel est, lui aussi, d'une grande beauté.
Amicalement,
Jacques

Salut Josep,
c'est sur que les contrebandiers parcourent cette route depuis des siècles! Et encore aujourd'hui je suppose!!! Belle vue sur les montagnes. J'aime bien comment on voit la route, toute droite malgré les courbes de la montagne.
Beau ciel bien dynamique.
Amitiés
Laurent

Minimal and atmospheric but so great, so breathtaking... I do like that fresh and pure air. Beautiful light and sky too.

Hola mi amigo:

Quisiera saber porque le llaman asi.¿Que se contrabandeaba?

Un inmenso panorama, majestuoso ver como la carretera se desplaza en medio de las montañas. Las nubes son un gran acompañamiento a la escena, las cuales se aprecian con gran naturalidad y buena iluminación.

Muy vistosa, sin duda.

Felicidades, John

Hola Josep
Nice mountain landscape with the path cutting across the green hills across the frame. The clouds in the blue sky has taken a third dimension thanks to the light falling on them. Nice work my friend!
Best Regards
Angshu

Hola Josep,
It's always surprising to find so much open space once one gets off the beaten track. The road adds definition to the beauty of these mountains and the sky is a perfectly captured photographer's sky.
