The Ardèche canyon is a deep valley running over 36km in distance. It becomes deep as 300m high at some points.
This photography is taken upstream. At sunset, colors of vegetation and calcareous rocks melt together as the sun decreases.
I already posted a first version of this landscape taken at the same point the same, but a recorded a few minutes later as the sun was very low in the horizon. My goal consisted in taking a starbright effet. With this new picture, I just bracketed and added the three photographies into one. This is what you see.

Awesome!!
thank you so much!
much better result David nice job
thansks a lot Joseph. I do appreciate!
There are a couple of viewpoints along the road where you see the whole bend, like on these old snapshots. We're lucky it's not in the US, otherwise this would become another Horseshoe Bend, destroyed by the crowds and overphotographed...
Hi Nick,
What you say may happen. Its is not as crowed as Horseshoe Bend yet. And it will never be. As you say, we have equipped the road making impossible any random carparking (excepted on local spots). From now, the road is empty. Almost nobody comes. A real pleasure...
Yeah I've taken those pictures in winter (Christmas holidays), and that day I saw maybe one or two cars, its function is just a scenic road, for people driving between two places there's a more direct highway. Gorges de l'Ardèche are also not that famous, except amongst French people, most outsiders know only about Gorges du Verdon.
yes, you're right. Not that famous yet, excepted amongst french and dutch populations.
