[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
"Le col d'Aubisque" is one mythic montain pass of the Tour de France. On the west side the road starts in Laruns (515 meters over the seas) to the top at 1'709 meters in about 17 kilometers. The average gradient is almost a 7%. It must be a big effort to try it with a bicycle. The is not a point in this 17 kilometers in which the road goes downhill.
The east side must be not so difficult. From the "col du Solour" you must ascend only 235 meters in about 10 kilometers.
I think that after "climbing" it, you must feel like a god. Here is a muster of the sight you will have on the top.

Hi Clemente,
Wonderful capture with a great lighting! The composition is very strong thanx to the cows in front of the impressive mountains. Very well captured indeed!
Groeten,
Lars

An imposing and impressive sight. Cheer!

It's a beautiful place - the composition here is great with the activity (cows & people) in the foreground - a contrast with the harsh landscape in the distance.

And to think that was one of the 'easier' mountain stages this year...!!

Hello, Clémente,

very bright and sharp picture of the Aubisque ! Well done !

Luc

Hi Clemente. It's hard to imagine that such a peaceful scenery is disturbed once every year by the enormous amount of people and vehicles of the Tour de France. And I guess that these cyclists don't take a break to enjoy the view! That's a shame, because what you've captured in your picture is really great. Stunning mountains and a very nice foreground, which creates a great feeling of depth in this picture. Well done!

That's a lovely landscape!
The composition is very good with all those clouds, but what I most like is those mountains in the background!
Nice shot!
Greatings, Artur.

well done this a very beautiful picture

hola Clemente,
hace mucho tiempo que no te he visto en T.E...
¿cómo les va?
me gusta esta foto mucho, y sin duda me gustaría tratar de escalar esas montañas, y si no pueda, entonces sería contento acampar justo al lado de las colinas. El paisaje es estupendo.
saludos desde Tejas.

Hola Clemente.
Fantástico paisaje y fantástica toma (seguro que vale la pena subir ahí).
Hay una muy buena profundidad y los colores me gustan mucho, así como todos los detalles de la foto.
También diría que la composición es simple: pero es la que debía ser.
Un buen trabajo.

Un saludo.

Que imagem tão bela! Uma paisagem fantástica e muito bem captada. As cores estão lindissimas e a definição perfeita
