Landscape in Cantal Region, Auvergne

Beautiful shot, almost like an old painting.PS Oscar was right, like your bio.

Birte, this is a home-made scan of the original colour photo print which was not so nice as this one! Thus I left it like that. Thanks very much for your comments. Cheers, Sam.

Hope you enjoy the scenery. Cheers, Sam.

Hello Sam, I agree with Birte, this has the look and colour of an old oil painting. It's a great shot of a beautiful region.

 

I was there about 10 years ago and loved it. Did you go up the Puy du Dome?

 

Best wishes. Pete

Beautiful mountain shot with nice "Van Gogh colors" in the foreground.

Peter, thank you very much for your appreciation. No, I haven't been on top of the Puy de Dome yet, although several times I've driven around it. This photo shows the Puy Mary in the background. A triangular fleck of snow can be seen, just under its summit. The view is from an eastern direction. The entire area on the photo is a small part of an enormous ancient volcano which has been eroded & reshaped also by glaciers during the Ice Ages. Cheers, Sam.

Landrum, Yes, I am also astonished how this photo came out like a painting. Good to read you've appreciated this image of a wonderful region in France. Cheers, Sam.

... will be going back this fall to shoot for about two weeks here alone. Will actually be a little more east than this, but what scenery and what churches!

Dennis, this is a region where you can really be alone. Even a mobile phone doesn't work everywhere. Watch the weather, as it can change very quickly from agreeable & calm to wild & threatening. Thanks very much for your comments. Cheers, Sam.
