Hello,

Laos, between Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang

Hey @everyone, Don't forget to post your landscape photos before tomorrow night at midnight.

Philippe

Good evening, A few photos to complement my first one: Pedernales Falls State Park, located between Austin and Fredericksburg, is worth a small detour. We stopped there twice in the spring of 2023 and 2024. There isn’t much water (flash floods can happen during storms), but time has worked its magic, creating little canyons that are fun to hop over—or not!

Lots of trails let you stroll among the wildflowers.

Hi Philippe, could you please remove my second photo recently posted on the contest thread (Mont-Saint-Michel Bay)? I’d like to submit a different second photo if that’s possible. Thanks!

Hello, I can’t delete this photo—I’d need admin rights, which I don’t have. Let’s just leave it at that; it’s simpler.

Could you please remove my photo #2 from the contest thread?

Hi,

On the photo post, click "Report" and specify that you want it deleted.

Thanks!

Hi there,

You’re brave to go hiking in this heatwave—watch out for heatstroke, especially since there doesn’t seem to be much shade in the photos....

We rarely go above 25°C in the Vercors where I live, and if you climb up to the ridges at 2000m / 2300m, it hovers around 20-22°C in the shade of the forest... Pure bliss!

Well, now we know where to take refuge during heatwaves!

I know the Rhône Valley, near Montélimar, and it's not the same...

If you want a bit more coolness, you should head to the Belledonne massif (higher up) opposite Vercors, east of Grenoble... It’s definitely not the same in the Rhône Valley!

"Some landscapes that totally blew me away during my travels"

I feel you...

Hi there, Luckily, I hadn’t seen May’s contest before. Because the choice would’ve been so much harder—there were so many great photos! The theme really lent itself to it. That’s why I would’ve voted for the winning photo without hesitation too. It stood out completely from all the others with its originality and creativity.

The landscape theme is a lot trickier for capturing *the* landscape shot that isn’t the one you see everywhere. And that’s what I loved about the ones I picked for Pagal and Rouquine38. Well done! Without them, I would’ve gone for photo #1 by UnaMilanese.

Don’t you ever do black and white? That one would’ve been incredibly dramatic in black and white.

Today, I really worked up a sweat... still in the Vercors at the same altitude, but in the mineral world of the Isère Vercors. And not a single bit of shade!

Hi everyone, today’s the last day—don’t forget to vote for your favorite landscape!

Philippe

Thanks! And are you entering the next contest?
