Brèche de Roland from Pic des Tentes

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Brèche de Roland (2807m) seen from the Pic des Tentes (~2300m). The legend goes that a hero named Roland threw his sword when he was mortally wounded, thus creating this doorway to Spain. It's quite a gap, measuring 40m wide and 100m high.
