Les Deux lacs

This is the view from our hotel stuck between two lakes in the Jura.



It was even more foggy in real life, a unique moment, but I trusted my camera with the exposure, bad idea. The sky is blow out, the whole picture has about 1 stop too much light... The E900 is a good camera, but you must never fully trust your camera.

Roads!
Or trails, above S



This is a firefighter road, on the other side it's one big slope to the sea across acres of mansions, appartements etc... On this side, it's just bushes and a stream at the bottom. There's more than 50 years of developpement divide.



This is how you get up to the trail, a mud an' rocks "piste" thats has some serious gradients. The sight is worth it.



This is in the middle of nowhere. I need a GPS to show you the spot.

All the pictures of this post, and the one before, where done with my SONY mobile phone. I could not be arsed to carry my camera around. Part of the enjoyment of going around with the least amount of belongings possible.

Why cycle?

I often get that question, no easy answer, but these images might:



This on a fire track, you can see one moutain range far inland on one side, and across 40 or 60 km to the sea on the other. You are alone, the beauty of all this is far beyond pictures or words, you just look around, listen to the wind, feel the sun and have a big arsed smile on your face that just won't go away. It just looks too good.



This is the sea side... You can see ALL the Maures moutain range. And not hear a man made noise. Appart from your own. You cannot come here on a car, and anyhow it would ruin the experience, too fast, too low, too hot, to much odor.



A firefighter died a bit farther down this track protecting all this. I had a quiet moment when passing his memorial.

Yeah, so I put more water - trees next week!

Water? More water? A friend noticed that when I let my brain free, I tend to include à lot of water... I never noticed. Check out the rest of the blog, nearly all the pictures have water in one form or the other.
Maybe i'll put less now that I've taken notice.

Going to the beach in Ramatuelles. This is a kind of "secret spot"...

I just love that light... Done in RAW (RAF in Fujitalk). There is a bit of pincushion, but it fits this photo well. That Smart car is the native species in that part of town.

Crazy colors after rain in the 16th.

I don't like French public transport... But a bit of sun is nice.

Just next door to my office...

Vincenes in the Cold morning...

Here the lake is frozen, and is in 800 iso due to a frozen frontal lobe, but still great.



These guys will rob your energy bar, then float around with a "wasn't me" nonchalence!
