The Pyrenees, a photo from Midi-Pyrenees, South

Photographer's Note

A series of photographs that I were taken pyrenees, they were made on the way from France city Foix on the way to Andorra. The views of the mountains are beautiful and unique. Their hight did a great impression on us. Absolutely beautiful.
I hope you will enjoy to see my pictures from my vacation. Thank you for visiting my gallery.

The Pyrenees are older than the Alps: their sediments were first deposited in coastal basins during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Between 100 and 150 million years ago, during the Lower Cretaceous period, the Bay of Biscay fanned out, pushing present-day Spain against France and putting large layers of sediment in a vise grip. The intense pressure and uplifting of the Earth's crust first affected the eastern part and stretched progressively to the entire chain, culminating in the Eocene epoch.

The eastern part of the Pyrenees consists largely of granite and gneissose rocks, while in the western part the granite peaks are flanked by layers of limestone. The massive and unworn character of the chain comes from its abundance of granite, which is particularly resistant to erosion, as well as weak glacial development.

Une très belle image de ce paysage grandiose avec ici une belle harmonie de couleurs entre les teintes chaudes du premier plan et l'arrière plan sous le voile atmosphérique bleu.

Merhaba Barbara
As if stream of cars on the curved road like a boat flowing stream in the valley between high mountains was presented as a very nice composition .. Congratulations. Succesful panoramic wide shoting.

Hi Barbara,

A really beutiful view indeed. The photo is very well-composed and sharp. The depth is impressive and the colours are very nice. I think the inclusion of the car in the left bottom corner is quite OK. You realize that there is a road with sharp curves that traverse the valley, but perhaps an extra millimeter at bottom of the photo would have been good. TFS and have a nice Sunday !

Cheers,

Ulf
