... Spectacular panoramic mountain view.. showing the Roland gap in the Hautes-Pyrénées, part of the Mont Perdu... a 40 meters wide and around 70 meters deep natural gap which opens in the cliffs and provides access to Spain... with also beautiful viewpoints, which are the Casque and the Tour de Gavarnie... certainly the most beautiful shot of the Pyrenees... located in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park... Thanks a lot Nadia! (✿◠‿◠)
