On the other side of these mountains lies Spain. This is the Pyrenees range separating France from Spain, and on this day the clouds obscured the tops of the highest peaks. This view is from a fortress built during the years after treaties moved the border from southern France into the Pyrenees.

The covered top looks like a steaming volcano. Great landscape.

Beautiful shot :) The only thing is that, and rarely is this the case because i love borders, i think it would be better w/ less border and to see more of the lower landscape to give more perspective. My thoughts of course :) Breathtaking nonetheless ;)

I'm glad this shot has generated the appreciation that it has. I held onto it for a year and a half after shooting it in June of 2003, because I didn't know how to format a panoramic photo to work in 1x1.33 format. The reason it has no foreground is that it is a panorama stitched together from five separate images.

To get this shot I had to climb a mountain on a mile-long foot-path, then find the postern gate over the eastern cliff-face in the curtain wall of the castle. Finally I had to cling to the cliff-face while shooting the photos which I would later stich into the panorama. My perch was every bit as high as it looks in the image. I was single back then. Such feats of daring-do will not recurr now that I have a wife, believe me.

"Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many."- "I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened..." "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."-Gandalf
