Pas des Arpettes – Alpine Ridge and Weathered Sky PIR_0825

This photo was taken from the Pas des Arpettes (approx. 2511 m), a mountain pass in the Mercantour National Park. The foreground shows a rocky slope with scattered stones and tufts of alpine grass. A visible trail winds through the middle ground, leading into a wide valley. In the background, layers of mountain ridges stretch across the horizon, partially obscured by dramatic cloud formations. The terrain is typical of high-altitude alpine zones, with minimal vegetation and exposed geological features. The weather was dynamic at the time of capture, with shifting light and cloud cover adding depth to the scene
