a view of the mountain tops of the Massif de NéouvielleI feel like I’m on top of the world seeing this spectacular panorama from Col de Portet (Portet Pass, around 2200m above sea level) in the municipality of St. Lary Soulan, Hautes-Pyrénées. It’s neither a view from Mont Blanc in the Alps nor Mt. Everest in the Himalayas, nevertheless, the landscape took my breath away. The drive up here was quite difficult (the unpaved road snakes through the mountainside with a sharp inclination) but I’m fairly certain you’ll agree that it was worth it. The route is not always open, especially during bad weather conditions, and we were lucky enough that vehicles are allowed to pass on the day we chose to visit the place. And I believe we’re even more fortunate to witness the mist and the clouds lifting and swirling around the mountain crests giving it an almost heavenly appeal. I guess no one can blame me if I started singing “I’m on the top of the world” à la Karen Carpenter (though I don’t have her voice) *smiles.*
