From dawn to dusk in France, then below-freezing dawn in France to sunny noon in Catalonia.
All taken from a moving car, so no prize-winning shots here. The featured photo is of the Pic du Canigou, the Pyrennean mountain which divides France from Spain.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
I like the feeling of being on the move. Enjoy the sunshine!

Well, to me the third photo, the road with the bare trees on the right and the approaching Volkswagen, looks like a prize-winner. Personally, I would do a bit of a crop, chopping off some at the right and top to ballance out the composition. But even as is, it is suitable for a gallery wall. I think it might even find a buyer who would love to have that photo on their wall.

These photo are barely processed. On holiday, they come out of the phone or camera and onto the page with hardly any assistance. Thanks Ludwig.

I like the foggy one best. No reason just interesting.

I always like a bit of fog too. And the roads were so empy we didn’t feel unsafe.

Thanks. Yes, French motorways and A roads are blissfully empty outide the cities.

That looks beautiful. I’m feeling so ready for a road trip somewhere, anywhere! But not likely to be in Spain or France! Trapped here in the US, trying not to watch the news, trying not to see the news online. Feeling unsure if we can survive 3 more years. Maybe I’ll take a road trip to unwind some stress.

Well, the weather seems to have thrown everything at you! Well maybe not the torrential rain you had once before. Glad the journey is safely over.

The mountains are beautiful. How many kilometers is the drive?

Just shy of 1600 km. I know, I know. Train would be a far better option …

They are all very moody photos! I quite like open road shots and these capture a sense of distance. And the mountain one is my favourite. Have you just driven down or are these historic?

Canigou is always snowy in January, of course. But I think it should be snowier than this.
