Weird - these display fine in Android, but not on the laptop: they just work as a link to your Flickr post there.

Is that climbed on.

I suspect not, but there's a lot of hairy climbing here, not least the vertical faces of les Trois Becs, if you fancy a Google.

Another of those walks today where it's impossible not just to photograph the view, though I've stuck one contre jour photo in there, as the flare worked perfectly, for once. My house is more or less bang in the middle of the third photo. Totally nuts. The fourth photo is of le Grand Veymont, at 2304m - I really must get up there (not in winter though - a long way to slide off) while I'm still physically able - needs a good 10 hours (at my speed) to get there and back on foot from the nearest parking spot.

I have climbed in the Vecors but that was when I had a memory that worked.

Aha, so I guess you'll know that quite a lot of it is challenging, but that the limestone can also be rather crumbly.
This is the mountain I look at from my front door:

Yes Limestone can be crumby but as the French have so much of it, they tend not to climb on the sh!t stuff. That’s the prerogative of us rock poor Brits.

Torrential rain, strong wind and gloom was the order of the day…wait what’s this… forecast for sun at 3.00pm.
So off I set, the sea was looking azure, which was very surprising considering. Waves were rolling in nicely, backlit by the low sun.
Right, clamber across some rocks, zoom lens on, camera on… then the dreaded 'No Memory Card' error message. Spare SD card in the bag? No chance, wrong bag. Oh, b#gger!
After that brief interlude, the clouds once again blotted out the sun and the wind increased to 70mph.
Mobile.
I tried something a bit different.

D'oh! The only consolation, I suppose, is that your camera told you you'd been an idiot, unlike mine that only goes into manic laughter when I get home and go to take the absent SD card out.
Love the second photo.

Yeah, I could see that being doubly annoying.
Thanks. Maybe so much bad weather can be helpful after all.

More de le tatte, but the top one's quite atmospheric... the weather's rather on the change.

1st one is more atmospheric but the 3rd one has more context, especially so for cyclists.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Nice^. I think my preference is for the middle one. Sony did good, that's some reach.

Thanks both - was one of those ones where there were plenty of different possibilities. It's a good spot to do blue hills in the right conditions, especially if you get the extra 300m up to the cliffs above the col, from where you can see all the way down to the unmistakable Mont Ventoux, with endlessly varied mountain profiles stretching out in between... nothing craggy and dramatic like the high Alps, but kinda nice and atmospheric.

Bamboo in the wind.

Yes, that's when you really notice the limitations of a phone camera.
Just to make the point I tried to photograph a kestrel in a tree (<15m away) and on full 'zoom' it looked like this.

Probably the last effort of 2023, as the forecast is wet this afternoon, so here's one from my dash-to-the-shops (bread & wine - not for communion) trying to catch the cloudage, and appreciating the lack of foliage. Tried converting to B&W, but it didn't seem to add anything.

Feels a bit like a Monet landscape at first glance.

My other thing about winter-time photography is seeing the skeletons of trees, as well as the much softer colours otherwise... both evident in that photo.

With the rain arriving later than expected, I took the opportunity of the gloom to try out some more flowing water shots on a different part of the river... the best setting for a longer exposure seemed to be a sixth of a second, so they didn't overexpose... all handheld. Got back minutes before lightning and a torrential downpour.

The wind was brutal at times along the cliffs. It was quite a spectacle, with some truly enormous waves rolling in.
I took rather a lot of shots today, so a bit more editing/deleting to do.

When the sunset doesn't give you what you want you have to make the most of what you have.

I concur.😊

Just proves we should all be more grateful for what we have! 😉

I'm not normally into tacky light displays, but Valence was quite good last night, and the 'hand-held night' setting, which stacks up about five exposures into one photo did quite a good job.
