Camping in the Pyrenees Mountains. Backpacking in the Pyrenees Mountains. This image transports you there. It shows you what it's like to tuck yourself and your tent into a valley and to wake up there in the mist in the morning. It's beautiful.

The Pyrenees Mountain Range is in southwest Europe. The mountains form a natural border between France and Spain. The small country of Andorra is also witness to these beautiful mountains. The Pyrenees are popular for winter sports, but plenty of people flock to them during warmer months, as well. Photographer Christoph Sahle spent part of his summer a couple of years ago exploring the mountain range on foot, with his tent and camera in tow. His photos from this trip can be found on his Flickr and they're breathtaking. I'd love to visit these mountains.

Have you visited the Pyrenees? What was your experience like?

And, as always, if you'd like to submit a photo to us for our Photo of The Day, just upload it to the Gadling Flickr Pool.
