Check here for the same view in a morning light!
The pass where I stood for taking this photo (col des Grangettes), 2684m, can be accessed from both sides. When you reach this pass, coming from the other side (see here the view from the other side), and that you suddently discover this wonderful scenery, it is a big shock! I did this hike several times, it is among my favorite ones...
[Explored #17] Many thanks for your visits, comments and faves! :-))

I was doing some cleanup in my older photos of NYC, and I was about to throw the raw file of this one away, when I remembered a phrase I read once, don't remember where: "This park is the green lung of the city". Then I thought I could make a good illustration of this concept of "green lung" using this photo.
Taken from the "Top of the Rock" (rooftop of the Rockefeller center building).

A.k.a. Halloween cat
The Cheshire cat is famous as a character appearing (and disappearing) in Lewis Caroll's novel "Alice's adventures in wonderland". But apparently the expression "Grinning like a Cheshire Cat" was in use beforehand...

It took me quite a while to shoot this one, I made several exposures in prevision of an HDR, and I tried several points of view. During this time, a man went out of the restaurant and approached me. He stood behind the tripod and threw a glance in the same direction as the lens, then he said : "ça va être très bien" (it's gonna be nice). I replied "I hope so...", but I wasn't really sure at this time, because the light was really poor, orange everywhere but on the door and the bell tower. This led me naturally to a B&W version, and I just kept colors in the two well-colored spots.
