The ancient Provencal town of Gordes is just one of several hill
towns we photograph on our photo tours in Provence.
We stay nearby, and are at this spot at both dawn and dusk. |
| |
The
much photographed Sénanque
Abbey. I chose a low wide view, so I had to make
sure I had a 'clean' row of Lavender. |
| |
A Lavender close-up. Why
is the 'sharp' Lavender head on the right you may ask?
Well, we read from left to right in the western world,
and our eye naturally looks at images the same way. |
| |
The time is right to set up for a macro shot . . . and
then wait for the Bee to return. |
| |
|
A 'lighter' moment with a Pigeon in Roussillon |
A first look at the colorful ochre walls of Roussillon. |
| |
The medieval
Avignon bridge [Pont Saint-Bénezet] on the Rhône River, Provence |
| |
Again the
Avignon bridge [Pont Saint-Bénezet],
but with the backdrop of the Pope's Palace and Notre
Dame cathedral. |
| |
|
|
A Roussillon study in the late light. |
Roussillon is noted for it's Ochre colored landscape,
and it shows in the local architecture. |
| |
|
Symmetry in the Lavender fields of Provence. |
| |
|
|
 |
Left,
more Roussillon color, and above, hill towns such
as Bonnieux have narrow streets, and are a good source
of images. |
| |
|
A little bit of PhotoShop of work to
capture the 'art' side of this image. |
| |
|
|
The village church at the top of
Roussillon. |
A 'Lavender view' to the village of
Saignon. |
| |
|
|
The hill-top village of Saignon.
Just one of the many spectacular hill towns of Provence. |
| |
An attempt to
look at Lavender from a different
perspective than normal. |
| |
The last
Roussillon study. |
Color in St. Croix color, with the door naturally in
purple . . . the color of Lavender and Provence. |
| |
|
The late light falls over the village of Ménerbes |
| |
The eastern end of St. Croix Lake, Provence |
A spectacular setting for this church perched above Castellane, Provence |
| |
Canyon du Verdon . . . you'll photograph the canyon with better light
than this. |
| |
St. Croix Lake from the village of St. Croix. I added the roof
for some foreground interest . . . you win some, and you lose
some! |
| |
Moustiers Ste. Marie in another spectacular
setting. Note the church perched at a higher elevation. |
