Attacking the slopes

Can’t see the trail but it’s there somewhere ! (north face of the Anjeau peak)

Light and Shadow

On the north face of the Pic d’Anjeau. Sun streaming over the ridge just catches a few tree trunks.

The forest of Bougès

Some forest scenes snapped on a recent hike in the Cévennes range. Quelques scènes de sous-bois sur le flanc nord du massif du Bougès.

Corbès

A tiny village in the Cevennes close to Anduze but off the main road. Just far enough away from traffic to be tranquil. Spring flowers, flowing river (they are often dry in the summer), sunshine!! The Auberge du Temps is a converted 15th century mill.

An isolated village in the Cévennes range at altitude 2000 feet – seen while descending the trail from La Fage – a local peak of about 3000 feet. The village catches some afternoon sun breaking over a nearby ridge.
