One day to Rochilles #3, a photo from Provence-Alpes-Cote-dAzur, South

Photographer's Note

Lake Clar閑 N関ache, Hautes-Alpes.

Arrival at Lake Clar閑, where all begins! This is where Clar閑 rises, fueled by a snowfield. At 2433 meters, crystal clear waters are a nice reward. Surprise when arriving, many walkers chose to picnic here, and the most accessible bank was "overcrowded" (there was indeed fifty people or more)! A well-placed rock allowed me to hide the "crowd" while enjoying the lake.

After a short break, we continued our path to the threshold of Rochilles. At 2459 meters, the Rochilles threshold marks the border between the Hautes-Alpes and Savoie. In earlier times, it was therefore a border between the Kingdom of France and the Sardinian States. Marker No. 92, installed in 1814, materializes the border. The Fleur de lys is engraved French side and the Savoy cross Sardinian side.

Bonjour Delphine,
Je vois que tu as fait un joli p閞iple durant tes vacances de l'閠� dernier. Ici un point de vue tr鑣 sympa sur ce lac sur fond de montagnes. La beaut� de l'endroit est rehauss閑 par l'aspect d閟ertique et sauvage, et les pique-niqueurs au loin en donnent l'閏helle. Belle luminosit� avec tous ces rochers, et un beau ciel qui a d� assurer de belles balades. Une photo qui donne envie de se retrouver dans ce paysage.
Amiti閟,
Jean

Hello Delphine,
Great landscape, really beautiful with a great mix of grass and rocks. I find the sunlight very appealing too, casting even a large shadow on a little bit of snow underneath the larger rock.

Bonjour Delphine,

Ce joli petit lac est bien pr閟ent� ici, comme s'il 閠ait dans un 閏ran de roche et d'herbe rase.
Le premier plan permet de donner de la profondeur.

Hello Delphine, beautiful hiking and you went so high. The Poland highest peak is about this altitude. (2499). spectacular Alpine landscape. Interesting place on the former border. Nice small lake with emerald water,

Hello Delphine,

Your photograph certainly hides the crowds that you mention in your notes. This looks like an inaccessible and very remote region, where you would be able to sit quietly and study the magnificence of nature!
The f/g slope works very well as a separation line, creating a strong f/g triangle and giving a good sense of depth into the distance, to the lake and the scree slope.
I like how you have been able to position the path, in the b/g, which has a strong vanishing point.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Delphine,
This photo has a wonderful crispy brightness and the view of the emerald pond surrounded by rugged rocks is fascinating. It's a marvellous scenery and you made a very good composition.
Best regards,
Gert

Bonjour Delphine,

The rocky tarn lake is a wonderful shade of turquoise. The patch of snow at right adds a graphic element against the darker tones. Good sharpness and a marvelous high elevated vantage point. Tfs.

Hi Delphine,
beautiful landscape! I like very much lakes in the mountains they always add so much interest. It is also the case here: this greenish color of the lake is stunning! Very nice vertical frame, so suitable for this occasion. I like the well saturated natural colors.
Excellent work!

Joli ce petit lac de montagne, j'aime bien sa forme et sa couleur bleu-vert, un bon point pour le cadrage avec cet avant-plan de rochers, on s'y croirait!
