Dévoluy

During the holidays we spent a week in a very quiet corner of the French Alps. The Dévoluy is wedged between het high peaks of the Ecrins in the East and the calcareous plateaus of the Vercors in the West, and it straddles the rigours of alpine abodes in the north and a more welcoming Mediterranean ambience in the south. Our ambition was to walk the full Tour du Dévoluy, but that didn't happen as several gites and hotels closed in the last two years so that it became very difficult to connect all the dots. So we limited ourselves to a 2-day circular trek and a few stand-alone walks. I just had the XPan with me, loaded with good old Reala. Meanwhile Fuji has ceased production. Which is a shame as I continue to love the delicate, earthy colours of that emulsion. Also the XPan continues to be a dream camera, handling superbly well and delivering dependable metering, dual format capability and very good optics. Above just a few of the snaps taken along the way.
