Towering pillars of pale, eroded rock rise from the barren scree of Casse Déserte, the road cutting a narrow line between the crumbling limestone formations near the summit of Col d'Izoard. This surreal, almost lunar stretch of terrain has become one of the most photographed and mythologized landscapes in the Tour de France, a stark contrast to the greener valleys below. This image is part of Tino Pohlmann's _arena series, a tribute to the beauty and grandeur of the Tour de France through its two essential collaborators: the rugged, wild mountains of France, and the hundreds of thousands of fans who transform that natural landscape into the world's largest open-air sporting venue .
