Hello! I’m Rémy, F4LEK, and I live in the heart of the Pyrenees, in the beautiful region of Comminges. Born and raised here, I’ve always felt deeply connected to this land, and now I’m fortunate to call it my home once again. Nestled at the foot of the Pic de Cagire, my days are surrounded by the timeless beauty of mountain peaks, rolling valleys, and nature’s quiet rhythms. The landscapes here inspire every part of my life, from capturing light and shadow in my photography to exploring the heights during Summits on the Air (SOTA) radio adventures. This blog is where I share these moments: chasing the perfect shot on a mountain ridge, tuning antennas on windswept summits, and enjoying the simple satisfaction of combining two hobbies that connect me to the wild and to the world. It’s a celebration of the place I call home and the passions that keep me exploring it anew every day.
Whether you’re here for the photography, the radio logs, the technical tinkering, or just to enjoy stories from the Pyrenees, welcome!
