France, into the Vercors, 18th April, Gorges de la Bourne

Image
We recommenced our journey, heading for the Gorges de la Bourne through a narrow mountain pass which led up to the Vercors plateau. The roads were narrow and vertiginous and I would not have liked to have been in anything larger that the van. We passed by the village of Choranche where we were to return to camp later that day. The sky was still heavy with cloud and the tops of the mountains were shrouded. I have produced this photo in monochrome, as well as colour, as it suited the overcast conditions. Given the state of the roads there were few places where we could stop, and we passed some fabulous scenes which the camera had to ignore.  Here are some of the views I did manage to capture. The gorge gave way to a broad plateau with scattered farms and after driving a circuit of roads at the top of the gorge we retraced some of our route to a small village called Rencurel. Here we stopped for lunch and a little photography. I took some infrared shots
