The Bear and the Lion
The Bear and the Lion / L'Ours et le Lion
by Clive Griffiths

The Bear and the Lion, locked in mortal combat and frozen into stone in the Bois de Paiolive.
The Bois de Paiolive is another extraordinary natural wonder in the Ardeche. in the main it is a massive tangle of stunted white Oak trees that grow up and around bizarrely shaped outcrops of limestone, such as L'Ours et le Lion, (the Bear and the Lion) which is a good 10 metres high. It is such a labyrinth that it is quite easy to get disorientated in amongst the towers, passages, and trees. It is a quite a tricky place to photograph, but quite extraordinary to visit. ...and if you do end up down that way, drop in for lunch at the L'Olivier de Paiolive which is close to the Bear and the Lion on the same road - that restuarant is absolutely outstanding!

Les Gorges de l'Ardèche
Belvédère des Templiers
by Christian Rey

Le belvédère des Templiers est certainement un des plus beaux point de vue sur les gorges de l'Ardèche depuis la route panoramique des Gorges D290. Un objectif grand angle, voir ultra grand angle est indispensable.

The "Belvédère des Templiers" is certainly one of the most beautiful point of view of the scenary road D290.\

Mare di ghiaccio (Francia)
Icy Serpent
by Salvatore Petrantoni

Splendido panorama sul ghiacciaio Mer de Glace (dal francese e significa mare di ghiaccio) è un ghiacciaio situato sul lato nord (francese) del massiccio del Monte Bianco (Alpi Graie). A pochi Km dall'uscita del traforo del Monte Bianco è raggiungibile con un antichissimo trenino a cremagliera (si parte da Chamonix). Nel periodo in cui andai io si vedeva e sentiva un continuo ruzzolare di sassi e rocce dalle pareti al letto del ghiacciaio, sintomo di una tipica fase di scioglimento. Nella discesa pedonale che porta fin sopra il ghiacciaio si trovano parecchie etichette dei livelli che ha raggiunto il ghiacciaio negli anni...la prova che i "nostri" ghiacciai si stanno notevolmente ritirando!

Gorge de l'Ardeche
Gorge de l'Ardeche
by Clive Griffiths

A bit of a postcard shot, but who could resist a view like this?

The is the Gorge de l'Ardeche in Southern France. The river Ardeche has carved it's way through a high Limestone plateau, the resulting gorge has become known as Europe's Grand Canyon (but it is a bit smaller....quite a bit really...). The cliffs are up to 300metres (about a 1000 feet) high. The gorge is about 30 kilometres long and the river is full of canoes in the summer. The gorge apparently has some 2000 caves in it's walls, many of then were inhabited by ancient man. The most famous is the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc which has some of the earliest known cave paintings - it is quite extraordinary.

First light in the gorge.
Gorge de l'Ardeche
by Clive Griffiths

The rising sun creeps into the sky and the first golden rays hit the tops of limestone outcrops that line the Gorge de l'Ardeche. In the summer this place is mobbed out with canoes, but on this morning I quite literally had the place to myself. I arrived in the dark, and watched as the sun rose and lit up the Pont d'Arc and the neighbouring tower, and the sky turned the outrageously deep blue you see in these parts. It was good for the soul!
