I hate to say it, but those photos look to be "augmented." Here is another video (I don't speak French, but the video is certainly accurate.)

It is still very beautiful, just not as technicolor as some of those photos would have you believe.

Looks like the setting for a shot in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Drago." The music has a Brian Eno quality. Nice post, thanks, Colin

(forehead slap) DOH! Yeah, I totally see that now. I still wonder if they're THAT much more vivid, but then again, I have seen the difference between wet and dry, and it is HUGE.

See, another case of better to keep your mouth shut and let them think you a fool than open your mouth and prove them right. (for me, in case there's any question) I swear I wasn't trying to be a troll, because I really wanted to believe that they looked like that, but the internet age has shown me repeatedly to trust virtually nothing.

I appreciate your kind response, please keep sharing this kind of cool stuff (and correcting me when I need it!) I am enjoying learning from you all, truly. Thanks!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
