Carcès Lake Photo Gallery

1/14. Lac de Carcès reflected trees and road. Looking across at the eastern shore, from the walking path opposite.

2/14. Lac de Carcès morning reflections. From the northwestern edge, looking south across to the middle of the lake where it bends behind the sloping trees at the left.

3/14. Lac de Carcès reflections of trees and red rock. This is a closer view of the right-hand edge of the previous photo.

4/14. Lac de Carcès, reflections across the lake. Another view looking south across to the middle of the lake where it bends behind the sloping trees at the left.

5/14. Lac de Carcès, pathway along the east side of the lake.

6/14. Lac de Carcès, reflections and bending tree.

7/14. Lac de Carcès, trees along the eastern edge, with the walking path.

8/14. Lac de Carcès, dead tree and reflections.

9/14. Lac de Carcès, reflections and trees growing from the water. At the southwestern corner (near the parking area), a bit of marshy shore with the trees growing directly from the water.

10/14. The ruins near the parking area. This area, under construction, includes some old stone buildings behind, in the trees.

11/14. Lac de Carcès, fishing "camp" on the lake-side path. All of the tents and cots and other equipment we saw was camouflage colored - at least blending in to the scenery.

12/14. Lac de Carcès wildflowers: Wild Leek (with butterfly). These flowers grow on tall, scragly stalks, branching out and looking like weeds from a distance.

13/14. Lac de Carcès wildflowers: Round-Headed Leek (with butterfly).

14/14. Lac de Carcès wildflowers: Pale Stonecrop. To us these flowers look sort of prehistoric, with their strange, redish stalks.
