Voted 10/10 | I had missed your recent photos, til this morning. This is not the American armchair traveler's vision of Provence! | | Posted May 13, 2007 11:29 am |

Hasn't voted | No, there are som quite high mountains here, up to aound 11000 ft. However, the chilly look is due to the time of year, late September. Two months earlier you might not have found much snow at this height. | | Posted May 13, 2007 12:44 pm |

Hasn't voted | Thank you for the comment, it wasn't that cold here, it was around noon and the temperature was some degrees above freezing. Still, coming up from Nice at 27 degrees C (80 degrees F) it felt very fresh. | | Posted Sep 15, 2007 5:40 am |

| LT89 | Very beautiful, sharp picture/ unique composure! | | 
Voted 8/10 | What a beautiful, crisp clear picture! And a unique composure of a strange looking mountain as well. It almost looks like an unpaved road has been build alongside the mountain, starting at the bottom and going halfway up untill it disappears around the corner of the mountain! | | Posted Sep 10, 2008 9:30 pm |
| | Ejnar Fjerdingstad | Re: Very beautiful, sharp picture/ unique composure! | |
Hasn't voted | Thank you. Yes, you are right, there is a (paved) road going around the mountain, this is the pass road of the Col de la Bonette, the highest automobile road in Europe (2802 m, 9320 ft.). | | Posted Sep 11, 2008 9:12 am |
| Noondueler | If I recall... | | 
Voted 10/10 | the Tour De France went over this col in the 1990's. Lead by climbing ace Robert Millar of Scotland. He was eventually reeled in by the peloton before the end of the stage after a valiant effort in the mountains. | | Posted Nov 1, 2008 1:27 pm |
| | Ejnar Fjerdingstad | Re: If I recall... | |
Hasn't voted | That's quite possible, there is a good paved road, and I know that they regularly go over the Col de la Galibier, which is only about 150 m/45O ft. lower. | | Posted Nov 1, 2008 6:36 pm |

Voted 10/10 | quite stunning | | Posted Nov 11, 2008 6:04 pm |
