Description
Early one winter morning, from the top of the Montagne Noire, the ancient city of Carcassonne was bathed in fog..as night was beginning to fade below. In the East, the sun had just risen up from the Mediterranean and 'kissed' the top of the Pyrenees Mountains. At eleven thousand feet high, they are the border between France, Andorra and Spain..
Amazingly...when one drives down from our village.. you can often see this mountain range rise up out of the Mediterranean Sea.. Higher & higher, they s-t-r-e-t-c-h across the length of the Spanish border, & to the west, until they disappear in the Atlantic Ocean! Only video can begin to fully capture this panorama.. T'is Breathtaking!
The famous, ancient pilgrimage of Saint Jacques de Compostelle crosses here from the whole of Eastern Europe, France & Italy...along the Canal du Midi..on the way to the northwestern corner of Spain.

Warm Greetings Doug! We're seeing the same view, this month (February) this year.. How could we ever tire of it? And this capture..is just a 'tiny slice'!..of the mighty Pyrenees Mountain Range.. Brittanica says "the crest of the chain marks the boundary (between France & Spain)..though the tiny autonomous principality of Andorra lies among its peaks." As far as it's size..from the same source.."The range is some 270 miles (430 kilometres) long; it is barely six miles wide at its eastern end..(Mediterranean)..but at its centre it reaches some 80 miles in width.." Thanks very much Doug for the Feature today..Much appreciated..Dona Dugay
