Holiday in France 22 - homeward bound, north to Dole

Image
We got up early and I took a couple of snap of the sunrise from the campsite before leaving. We wanted to take our time and stop where we wanted on the way back so started by visiting the Lac de Serre-Poncon west of Barcelonnette. Here the rivers Ubaye and Durance have been dammed to give a large body of water which we drove round. The sky was incredibly blue and the mountains shrouded in haze beyond. I am including pictures of the dam and some multiple exposures, ICM and a Holga shot as well. Driving north we chose the minor roads, there is usually no need for autoroutes when driving the van and the small roads are more interesting. The haze was still evident when we stopped in the afternoon and saw in the distance the Massif des Bauges (last picture) evidently worth its own trip on another occasion. We finally eded up on a carpark by a leisure centre in Dole for the night, not glamorous but practical! Again a number of similar shots, decisions are so difficult.
