Around the lake #2, a photo from Provence-Alpes-Cote-dAzur, South

Photographer's Note

Lago Verde, N関ache, Hautes-Alpes.

The Green Lake, also called Lago Verde (the panels have kept the original Italian name), is one of the local sights, a "must see". It owes its particular color to its shallow depth coupled with the strong presence of algae. Numerous dead trees are entangled in the lake, which adds to the beauty of the site.
It's really worth to go right round the lake to enjoy different views, even if the path is not always easy (fording ...)

The lake is accessible on foot by a short walk fairly easy access from the barns of the Vall閑 Etroite (Narrow Valley). Attached to the commune of N関ache since 1947, the high vall閑 Etroite has a unusual destiny, between France and Italy. Italian until 1947 (municipality of Bardonecchia), she was attached to France following the Treaty of Paris. Some houses form the small village of "Les Granges de la Vall閑 Etroite", all owned by Italian families. Only two alpine shelters are inhabited year-round. Although located in French territory, they are managed by the CAI (Italian Alpine Club). Telephone lines are Italian, as most signs. The small village chapel has a small sign written in French, but some errors that punctuate the phrase made me smile.

2 workshops present closer views.

Hi, Delphine. A lovely photograph of the Lake with Clearwater and the reflections. Clarity is excellent with a good point of view and including the people gives the scale to the photograph. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Delphine
che paesaggio bello e rilassante, anche se il mio primo pensiero � stato diverso, vedendo le persone ho pensato a quanto siamo piccoli noi uomini nei confronti della natura.
Esseri insignificanti che vorrebbero imporre le loro regole anche alla natura, cercando di modificare le stagioni e il tempo, ma siamo troppo piccoli e inutili.
Qaundo la natura decide di fare il suo corso, lo fa senza consultarci e chi ci rimette siamo solo noi.
Buona giornata
Carlo

Hi Delphine,
A very pleasant place for recreation. Looks like a very fine summer day in the wilderness. Nice reflection of the blue sky in the water.
Kind regards

Hello Delphine

It certainly seems to be a magical place. The water is so clear, and the surroundings so unspoilt. Nice composition.

Regards

Will
