Rolling green mountain ridgeline under a blue sky with wispy clouds, a line of beech trees bordering a grassy meadow in the foreground
View down a deep, U-shaped glacial valley of green pastures from a high ridge, with a village and distant mountains beyond
A sharp pyramid-shaped rocky peak rising above green volcanic slopes, a footpath snaking up toward it
Semi-wild horses — a brown mare, a foal and a white horse — grazing on a steep green hillside above a forested valley
Two hikers in blue on a narrow path traversing a steep grassy mountainside beneath rocky cliffs
Weathered rocky outcrops and a boulder field scattered across a grassy summit slope under a bright cloudy sky
A horned brown Salers cow with a bell standing among rocks on high pasture, hazy mountains on the horizon
The broad green pyramidal summit of Puy Mary with footpaths and a small stone building at its base, under a blue sky with cumulus clouds
A small blue-and-yellow tent pitched among rocks on a grassy plateau, overlooking a wide valley in soft morning light
Close-up of dry, wind-blown grass seed heads growing from lichen-covered rocks, with blurred green mountains behind
The sun setting into a warm orange sky over layers of hazy silhouetted hills and valleys
A slate-roofed stone farmhouse in a green forested valley, backlit by low morning sun over the surrounding mountains
Close-up of a brown cow's muzzle and eye peering through green leaves and a strand of barbed wire
A wooden fence and stile on a worn dirt trail crossing open green highland pasture, marked with a red-and-white GR waymark
An old stone house with a tiled roof on a grassy slope, green wooded mountains and a valley stretching behind
A jagged rocky pinnacle seen from below, a stony footpath climbing toward it under a blue sky with clouds
A vast dramatic sky of streaked and billowing clouds above a low, dark green mountain range on the horizon
Green volcanic ridges with a footpath winding along a grassy crest above steep rocky cliffs
A herd of cattle grazing across a wide green pasture, with dense forested hills rising behind
A rocky crag topped with a small cairn on a grassy hill dotted with yellow wildflowers, under a cloudy sky
