Unbelievably cool image!

beautiful classic photo !

fabuleous oldie

This photograph is part of the Indicommons.org post The Tour de France - then and now.

Thanks for the tip, great to see our images being used!

Such a classic shot - all the elements that would make up this shot would still be there in in the same shot today. What I particularly like though is that everything man made - the bike, the car, the motorcycle, even the road surface - has moved on; and yet everything natural - the mountains, the cyclist's physique, and most notably his facial expression - would simply be unchanged.

the background suggests it was taken from the 'granges du Galibier'

PhilippeF's suggestion, and note added on the image, look to be spot on. Check Google Street View and Maps - maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&safe=off&client=fire... - the mountain range appears more distant in teh Street View image (wider angle lens?) but there is no mistaking the rocky ridge top-right.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Black & White animalss, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

This is my new favorite photo. Ever.
