Circ du Litor

I took this during the 2005 Etape du Tour cyclosportif. It was one of those moments where the view takes your breath away. After slogging up the Col d'Aubisque, the road descends sharply and the view is increasingly spectacular. The road clings to the side of the mountain. You can just about make out the cyclists (probably best to view the image in its large to see them). However the whole 360 degree view is mind boggling. Alas I did not have enough time or equipment to do that justice. So I used the not that wide angle lens on my Konica to take this. I wish I had my Ricoh GR-D but as that was bought the following year, I can't complain too much .
