More Gavernie

 Our French family -  husband and wife,  2 teenagers and Ivy the dog - the eldest son is studying at home - have been climbing in Gavarnie - not to be confused with Giverny.  Above is Gloriette lake which gives access to below.
 

This dramatic looking spot is less well known Cirque Estaube.

The water is very clear and freezing cold I'm guessing.

 
The only way is up:)

Wow very beautiful though, you can almost feel and breath in the cool clean air just looking at the photos!

WOW! Yep that's it. WOW!

Joey: had even more than the usual trouble posting these - possibly because Mark sent them from his phone. And no way could I post the photos of the llamas and Ivy the dog. She'll be furious:)

Granny Annie: made me long to join them but they will be here later this month.

Naomi; I love the dark brooding feel of the cloud.

It's nice to see we're not the only ones with patches of snow left this summer :)

Nea: I'll bet there is some somewhere in Scotland.
