Photographer’s Note
The continuation of this series on the Lake Vouglans, this one was carried out during a morning exit with Stéphane with the beach of Bellecin (old name of one of the 3 absorbed villages).
The dam Vouglans, flanked on the river of Ain, is one highest of Europe (more than 100 meters).
It generated a water reserve of 35 km (1500 hectares) which curves between high and abrupt rocks. Reserve
begins with Bridge-of-Poitte after the jump from Saisse, it has an average width of 500 meters.
Three zones were established on this
reserve:
- a zone reserved for fishing;
- a zone with the bathe
- a zone with the sports and leisures nautical.
Several camp-sites were to create on the banks of reserve as well as beaches for the bathe.
------------
The goal of our exit was to benefit from the fall of the level of the lake (20m approximately) to show impossible things differently, like this old forest road.
I thus hope that you will like this series, the topic was created on the Lake Vouglans (it gathers my photographs and those of Stephan for the moment).
Good day
Philippe

Philippe, the light here is beautiful! The composition here is very good with that curved pathway and the diagonal line.

Bonjour Philippe,
C'est intéressant de découvrir ce qui se cachait sous 20 mètres d'eau !
Très belle image avec cette lumière douce éclairant ce chemin forestier borné de pierres.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Philippe.
I like the light which creates such long shadows, it almost look like there are two parallel mountain chaines here. And there is good contrast between the rocks and the sky.
take care, Aleks

Philippe, j'aime la convergence des lignes faites de pierres et de rochers. C'est un graphisme qui est le véritable sujet de la photo. Beau travail !
