Pyrenees August 2009

Back again in the mountains, the summer heat has seen the last of the snows away and the summer meadows are now gazed down to stems, another month and all the animals will return down to the winter pastures. Festivals are occurring in most of the villages now, the harvest is in and there's time to relax and party - wow that mountain hooch is lethal .....
