excursion in Eastern Pyrenees Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here is a photo catch at the time of my many excursions in Eastern Pyrénée. One sees there a wild crocus in the foreground (very many at this season) has to leave which one extracts the most expensive spice from the world, saffron.

As an indication, it is necessary nearly 150 000 crocuses (300kg) to collect 1 kg of pure saffron!

behind plane, the peak of the coume d'enfer, visible since the ponds of Mirabail, after Tarascon sur Ariège.

I like how you put in scene the small flower. With the lot of grass as background doesn't seems to be so samlll, not even in comparison with the high mountains. Very good POV
Also clear colours
Well done, Marc

Yes, the small flower is fine, but the whole landscape is wonderful too.
