France Orgues sauvages d'Ille-sur-Têt
The Orgues d'Ille-sur-Têt is a very special natural place in the south of France. There are tall rock formations with strange shapes, made by erosion. The landscape looks a little like Cappadoccia in Turkey.
Photography Tips
If you're going for sunset (best moment of the day) make sure you bring a headlamp to find your way back to the car. Wear sturdy shoes as the terrain is uneven.
Bring a medium lens like 24-70 to capture the rocks and the Canigou mountain in the background.
