It is not always easy to find the right spot to put your tent up on a rocky soil, but when you are tired after a long day of hiking, then you don't care much anyway... The highlight of the day is when the food is prepared and it's amazing how tasteful freeze dried food is, when you are 'really' hungrig :)

The Pyrenees stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea (430 km) and creates a natural border between France and Spain.

It offers lots of hiking trails for hardcore hiking or for pleasent day-hikes.

The most famous of the hikes is The High Route (Haute Randonnée Pyrénéenne) and can be walked in the full length of The Pyrenees, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.

The landscape and climate changes while you swift between the french side and the spanish side of The Pyrenees and that's quite fascinating to witness.

-The Pyrenees are named after Pyrene, which means fire in greek.

Hi, my friend!
It is very interesting view. I like your mountains very much. Beautiful mountains with snow. Good composition, nice light. Interesting people.

Despite some low cloud we can see in the background you had good clear light here. It looks as if it maybe breakfast time. Very interesting "a-day-in-the-life-of-a-hiker" shot with plenty of sharp deatils.

Bonjour Chritian
Une présentation peu commune que celle de deux trekers qui se préparent pour la fin de journée,dans le cadre magnifique qu'ils ont choisi pour se reposer.
Oui ,tout est délicieux après tant d'effort.
Une belle présentation.
Bonne soirée
Charles

Hi Christian,
Nice campsite! Looks like there wasn't a soul around apart from you guys. Your compo is good, showing the tents, the hikers preparing their meal and the surrounding mountains (what a view to wake up to!). My only regret is that one of the campers is partly hid by that dark shadow.
Have a nice weekend.
Brigitte

Hi Christian?
Have you camped there? The view must be really amazing but what about the wind?Very nice composition including these people with teir tents and that amazing scenery all around.I like the clouds covering the top of the mountain!
Good work!
Regards, Anabela
