Le Lac Salagou

I thought I was back in Scotland. This lake has red rocks round it and the lake bottom is red too. It is because of the ferous oxide. The land and hills all have this red colour in the soil too. With the cloud overhead in a grey sky, I really felt back on my native soil. What stood out was the greenness of  the grass, coming up everywhere after the rain.
Then we visited the Cirque de Moureze, an amazing area of tall rocks/ fossils which we were told was caused by erosion. The whole area had been under water many years before our history. Another energetic hike up and around these boulders was well worth the effort. I would suggest you google image some of these places. Just fascinating.
