Looking for the lines and the light. Just after sunrise, the lines reveal them self in this photo. Finding the right spot took several days. When I saw the mountains, I immediately wanted to go here. I may not have ride the road by bike, but the experience in a car was just as cool.
Warm and powerful. Those are the two words that come to mind in this picture. Warmth of the sun that beautifully illuminates the mountains and the power of the Coll dels Reis.
When I look at the photo and look back at this beautiful memory of the location and the work that went into this, I get a proud and happy feeling. I therefore think back to a period of gratitude that I was allowed to make this journey with my family.
