Just back home from a three-day Photo Tour I organized in the Auvergne for two Americans. One of the photo subjects was Col de la Croix St Robert in the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Nature Park. Due to the weather conditions we unfortunately had to skip the sunrise session. Instead we got lots of snow, fog and frosty trees later on in the morning. Not quite what they (and me) expected during this Spring Photo Tour in the Auvergne.
We were immediately hooked to a little area with birch trees and bushes.
At one moment the sky opened up for a while and in the last image you can see the seasonal contrast. A winter scenery in the front with in the background the Spring greens in the fields.

Some feedback so far:
- Who says you can’t get a great shot in bad weather
Very nice! - his says cold and damp. I like the waterfall peeking from the fog.
- What a beautiful scene. Your framing and use of the fog in the frame is well done. Nicely done.

Fresh greens
by Kristel Schneider
Finally I had some time to walk in the forest again. The trees are full with different tints of greens and the leaves are changing very fast now.
By driving up into the mountains (Monts du Forez) I sill could find some very young leaves. Some buds from the nut trees are still closes.
The greens make a nice color pattern in the chaos from the branches.
Normally I prefer a day with overcast weather, to get more color contrast.
The end of the day was still sunny so I looked for places with shades and try to use the sunlight in a way that is was not ‘too’ harsh.
