Pyrenees, France, Oct 2021
Do you have a hero? Someone you look up to and want to learn from or even be like?
Alex Strohl is mine. A native of France with a unique style of photography influenced by his travels around the world.
I was fortunate to be selected to join him and fellow photographers on an expedition to the Pyrenees Mountain Range. Val D’Ayous and Neouvielle.
I spent 6 days hiking from hut to hut, photographing, learning, and chatting with like-minded photographers. I did 99.641 steps between 600 to 3048 meters height above mean sea level.
Descending with a head torch before retreating to our mountain hut for a restful night, and a well-earned snack.
The Pic du Midi d'Ossau is a mountain rising above the Ossau Valley in the French Pyrenees. Despite possessing neither a glacier nor, in the context of the range, a particularly high summit, its distinctive shape makes it a symbol of the French side of the Pyrenees.
